The development of synthetic oligomers as discrete single molecular entities with accurate control over the number and nature of functional groups along the backbone has enabled a variety of new research opportunities. From fundamental studies of self-assembly in materials science to understanding efficacy and safety profiles in biology and pharmaceuticals, future directions are significantly impacted by the availability of discrete, multifunctional oligomers. However, the preparation of diverse libraries of discrete and stereospecific oligomers remains a significant challenge. We report a novel strategy for accelerating the synthesis and isolation of discrete oligomers in a high-throughput manner based on click chemistry and simplified bead-based purification. The resulting synthetic platform allows libraries of discrete polyether oligomers to be prepared and the impact of variables such as chain length, number, and nature of side chain functionalities and molecular dispersity on antibacterial behavior examined. Significantly, discrete oligomers were shown to exhibit enhanced activity with lower toxicity compared with traditional disperse samples. This work provides a practical and scalable methodology for nonexperts to prepare libraries of multifunctional discrete oligomers and demonstrates the advantages of discrete materials in biological applications.
