Designing secondary structures: 5-azidomethyl tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylates as carbohydrate-derived dipeptide isosteres.

The potential of carbohydrate-like tetrahydrofuran frameworks as building blocks with predictable conformational propensities useful in the design and synthesis of novel peptidomimetic materials which adopt well-defined secondary structures is discussed.
