26. We also were able to synthesize s2ne (5b) from 2′-nitroacetophenone via a selective reduction of the ketone to the R-alcohol, conversion to the S-azide, and reduction to the S-amine, similar to the work of Gorske et al. (see ref 16). However, the overall yield of 5b was significantly lower using this approach (12%, data not shown).

29. 1H NMR (>95%) and HPLC (96% purity at 220 nm).
30. We synthesized and characterized an o-methyl analogue of peptoid 9 as a steric control. As (S)-1-(2-methylphenyl)ethylamine was not commercially available, we utilized 2-methylbenzylamine (2mb) for this control peptoid (V2mb(Vspe)8). The removal of the α-methyl group on the N-terminal side chain in this peptoid (and in similar nonamers we have studied) appears to strengthen the threaded loop (data not shown). We believe this may be due to an electronic effect, as the lack of an α-methyl group should decrease electron density at the N-terminal ammonium. Since we were unable to make direct comparisons between the control N2mb(Nspe)8 and peptoid 9, we omit this relatively complex analysis here for brevity.
31. 3 data here to provide our most comprehensive analysis of peptoid 7.
32. Similar blue shifts in CD spectra for peptoids containing Nsnp residues have been observed previously; see ref 7a.
