Figure 1. Schematic representation of the interconversion of library members by equilibrium processes and the subsequent product distribution change exerted by a template (T). Letter sizes are representative of product concentration. we report molecular amplification from a dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) of pseudo-peptides of a macrocyclic receptor that binds selectively to acetylcholine and N-methyl quinuclidinium salts. The shifts in product distribution we report are to our knowledge the largest yet observed for covalent dynamic combinatorial systems, and serve as proof of the concept that dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) may be used to identify and isolate new molecules from large pools of candidates through noncovalent template effects. DCLs have been generated noncovalently through metal±ligand exchange [4] and hydrogen-bonding networks,[5] and covalently deploying a range of reversible reactions [1] such as transesterification,[6] disulfide exchange,[7] allylpalladium chemistry,[8] and transimination.[9] However, reported examples of successful templating of covalent DCLs are so far very limited. We have generated libraries of hydrazone-based pseudo-peptides which interconvert by transimination at the hydrazone bond,[10] and have recently reported significant molecular amplification in such a library by complexation of [18] crown-6 to the monomer hydrazinium cation.[11] This effect is general for hydrazinium cations, but we now report specific molecular amplification of a macrocycle in a dynamic combinatorial mixture of hydrazone-based pseudo-peptides. The DCL formed from building block mPro 1 was designed to contain a cyclic structure that would emulate cation binding observed with Kubik s cyclic peptides.[12] Kubik s cyclic peptide 5 binds acetylcholine (ACh) iodide and N-methyl quinuclidinium (NMQ) iodide in chloroform with stability constants of 11000mÀ1 and 42200mÀ1, respectively.[12a] Comparison of the mPro trimer 2 with receptor 5 reveals very similar structures, with the exception of six additional bonds in our receptor. The expectation was that ACh and NMQ would bind the mPro cyclic trimer 2 strongly enough to template its formation leading to molecular amplification.
