Abstract

Medium-sized rings, particularly the corresponding cyclic peptides, are challenging synthetic targets. In the present study, we report an approach to medium-sized cyclic peptides through targeted formation and collapse of cyclol intermediates. This methodology operates on β-amino imides derived from 2,5-diketopiperazines and offers a straightforward transition from frequently examined scaffolds in drug discovery to a rarely visited class of medium-sized rings.
