A benzotriazole-mediated route to protected marine-derived hetero-2,5-diketopiperazines containing proline

Org Biomol Chem. 2015 Apr 21;13(15):4399-403. doi: 10.1039/c5ob00023h.

Abstract

A procedure for the cyclization of dipeptidoyl benzotriazolides containing proline derivatives promoted by triethylamine under MW activation is introduced. The reaction is general for a variety of dipeptidoyl benzotriazolides and represents a very practical and convenient method for the preparation of Pro- or Hyp-derived 2,5-diketopiperazines (2,5-DKPs) and bis-DKPs with a disulfide linker. This method can be used for the construction of 2,5-DKP compound libraries and for the synthesis of natural products with diketopiperazine cores.
