Aiming at restricting the conformational freedom of tryptophan-containing peptide ligands, we designed a THBC (tetrahydro-β-carboline)-DKP (diketopiperazine)-based peptidomimetic scaffold capable of arranging in an unusual α-turn conformation. The synthesis is based on a diastereoselective Pictet–Spengler condensation to give the THBC core, followed by an intramolecular lactamization to complete the tetracyclic THBC-DKP fused ring system. The presence of conformers bearing the intramolecular thirteen-membered hydrogen bond that characterizes the α-turn structure is confirmed by 1H NMR conformational studies. To the best of our knowledge, this scaffold represents one of the rare examples of a designed constrained α-turn mimic.

The title compound, C20H16ClNO3S, is built up from three fused rings, one five- and two six-membered rings, linked to a 3-ethoxycarbonyl group and to a 4-chlorophenyl ring. The hydropyran ring has a flattened envelope conformation, with the C atom substituted by the 4-chlorophenyl ring as the flap (displaced by 0.077 (2) Å from the plane through the other atoms). The fused three-ring system is quasi-planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.057 Å), with the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.106 (1) Å for the C atom substituted by the 4-chlorophenyl ring. The 4-chlorophenyl ring is approximately perpendicular to the mean plane of the fused ring system, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 77.32 (6)° between their mean planes. There is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond forming anS(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with anR22(12) ring motif. There are also short intermolecular Cl...O interactions present [3.1226 (12) Å] between neighbouring molecules.

The molecule of the title compound, C21H19NO4S, features a fused ring system whereby a five-membered ring is flanked by two six-membered rings. This is linked to an ethyl 3-carboxylate group and to a methoxybenzene group. The fused-ring system is quasi-planar, with the greatest deviation from the mean plane being 0.131 (1) Å for the methine C atom. The plane through the methoxybenzene ring is nearly perpendicular to that through the fused-ring system, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 85.72 (6)°. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is noted. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers that stack along theaaxis.

The fused-ring system in the title compound [systematic name: 2-(2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromen-4-yl)acetic acid], C15H10O4, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and the Car—C—C=O (ar = aromatic) torsion angle for the side chain is −134.4 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating [100]C(8) chains, where the acceptor atom is the exocyclic O atom of the fused-ring system. The packing is consolidated by a very weak C—H...O hydrogen bond to the same acceptor atom. Together, these interactions lead to undulating (001) layers in the crystal.

In the title compound, C17H12Cl4FNO4, the configuration of the cycloalkene skeleton isendo,cis. The benzene ring is twisted by 71.01 (11)° from the attached pyrrolidine ring. In the crystal, one of the methine groups of the fused-ring system forms a weak C—H...O hydrogen bond. The other methine groups participates in a C—H...F interaction to the same adjacent molecule. Together, these generate [010] chains.

In the racemic title compound, C20H16N2O5, the pyran ring adopts a shallow envelope conformation, with the stereogenic C atom displaced from the other atoms by 0.273 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the fused-ring system and the pendantp-tolyl group is 87.62 (7)°. The molecular conformation is consolidated by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates anS(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions, resulting in [010] chains.

The products of a Pictet–Spengler condensation of tryptamine and of histamine with 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose have been studied by X-ray crystallography to establish their absolute configuration. 1(S)-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (1), C16H20N20O4, is monoclinic, P21 (No. 4), with cell dimensions a = 13.091(4), b = 5.365(1), c = 11.323(3) Å, β = 115.78(2)°, and Z = 2. 4-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-c]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyridine (3), C11H17N3O4, is orthorhombic, P212121 (No. 19), with cell dimensions a = 8.118(2), b = 13.715(4), c = 10.963(3) Å, and Z = 4. The structures were determined by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.0514, R2 = 0.0642 for 3210 reflections in the case of 1, and to R1 = 0.0312, R2 = 0.0335 for 1569 reflections in the case of 3. Bond lengths and angles within both molecules are normal and agree well with those observed in related structures. In 3 the base and sugar adopt a syn arrangement, which is maintained by an internal hydrogen bond between O(2′) and N(3). The sugar adopts a normal 2T3 twist conformation. The sugar has the opposite anti arrangement in the β-carboline 1 and the conformation of the sugar is unusual; it is close to an envelope conformation with O(4′) being the atom out of the plane. This conformation is caused by a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond from O(5′) in a symmetry-related molecule to O(4′). Both compounds are held together in the crystal by extensive hydrogen-bonding networks. The conformations of the compounds in solution have been investigated by 1H nmr spectroscopy, and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by X-ray crystallography for 1 and 3.
