Synthesis of steroid-biaryl ether hybrid macrocycles with high skeletal and side chain variability by multiple multicomponent macrocyclization including bifunctional building blocks.
Utilizing the multiple multicomponent macrocyclization including bifunctional building blocks (MiB) strategy, a library of nonracemic, nonrepetitive peptoid-containing steroid-biaryl ether hybrid macrocycles was built. Up to 16 new bonds, including those of the macrocyclization, can be formed in one pot simultaneously while introducing varied elements of diversity. Functional diversity is generated primarily by choosing Ugi-reactive functional building blocks, bearing the respective recognition or catalytic motifs. These appear attached to the peptoid backbone of the macrocyclic cavity, similar to side chains of amino acids found in enzyme active sites. Likewise, skeletal diversity is based on the variation of defined bifunctional building blocks which allow the parallel formation of macrocyclic cavities that are highly diverse in shape and size and thus perspectively in function. This straightforward approach is suitable to generate multifunctional macrocycles for applications in catalysis, supramolecular, or biological chemistry.
