Proline derivatives bearing substituents at Cγ are valuable tools for biological and materials investigations. However, the stereochemistry at Cγ can produce undesired steric or stereoelectronic interactions. Here, we introduce γ-azaproline (γ-azPro), which lacks a stereogenic center at Cγ, as a pH-responsive and functionalizable proline analogue that can adapt to its environment. Conformational analyses by NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations revealed that the imidazolidine ring of γ-azPro is flexible. Incorporation of γ-azPro into collagen model peptides (CMPs) produced pH-responsive triples helices and triple helices that can be easily functionalized.
