A. Golebiowski et al., Solid supported high-throughput organic synthesis of peptide beta-turn mimetics via Petasis reaction/diketopiperazine formation, TETRAHEDR L, 41(25), 2000, pp. 4841-4844
High-throughput organic synthesis of bicyclic diketopiperazines 1, beta-tur
n mimetics, is described. Starting from Merrifield resin-bound piperazine-2
-carboxylic acid, first two (R-4 and R-5) Side chains are introduced via th
e Petasis reaction and subsequent amide bond formation. Unblocking the a-am
ino group of piperazine-2-carboxylic acid, Boc-N-protected alpha-amino acid
coupling and deprotection followed by cyclative cleavage introduces the re
maining R-2 and R-1 side chains. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
