Macrocycles, compounds containing a ring of 12 or more atoms, find use in medicine, fragrances, and biol. ion sensing. The efficient preparation of macrocycles is a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chem. because the high entropic cost of large-ring closure allows undesired intermol. reactions to compete. Here, we present a bioinspired strategy for macrocycle formation through carbon-carbon bond formation. The process relies on a catalytic oligomer containing α- and γ-amino acid residues to template the ring-closing process. The α/γ-peptide foldamer adopts a helical conformation that displays a catalytic primary amine-secondary amine diad in a specific three-dimensional arrangement. This catalyst promotes aldol reactions that form rings containing 14 to 22 atoms. Utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of the natural product robustol.
