Abstract:
A wide range of N-alkylglycines (peptoids) can be efficiently prepared via Ugi reactions using microwave irradiations. The results confirm the versatility and efficiency of the methodology for the preparation of functionalized peptoids. The products can be used in consecutive Ugi reactions to yield cyclic peptoids of potential biological interest.
