INTRODUCTION

Peptoids are polymers of various （N-alkyl） glycines.1 While they are similar in structure to peptides （Figure 1）, peptoids lack a peptide bond making them resistant to proteolytic activity in vivo1,2. This stability makes peptoids an attractive peptidomimetic target for drug discovery and development.

Peptoids are generally synthesized through a “sub-monomer” process consisting of two steps; an acylation step using bromoacetic acid and N,N’-diisopropylcarbodiimide （DIC） followed by reaction with a primary amine via nucleophilic displacement of the bromide （Figure 2）.1

Figure 2. General synthesis of peptoids.

Because many structurally diverse monosubstituted amines are commercially available, peptoids with a wide variety of side chains can be readily synthesized.2,3 However, conventional synthesis of peptoids can take up to three hours per residue.1 Microwave irradiation has been shown to significantly.
