Abstract
A 2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carboxylic acid was designed as a new, conformationally restricted building block for the construction of pseudopeptide foldamers. IR, ^1^H NMR and CD techniques, implemented by detailed DFT computational modeling, were exploited to investigate the preferred three‐dimensional structure of benzyl (4__S__,5__R__)‐5‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐1,3‐oxazolidine‐4‐carboxylate homo‐oligomers synthesized to the pentamer level. The resulting poly(L‐Pro)~n~ II like helical conformation was found to be stabilized by intramolecular α‐C−H**···**O=C hydrogen bonds. This novel, acylurethane‐based, ternary foldameric structure, if appropriately functionalized, holds promise as a robust template for a variety of applications. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
