Abstract
An asymmetric synthesis of chiral 2,5-diketopiperazines by the Ugi-4CR/cyclization is exhibited. The employment of catalytic anionic chiral Co(III) complexes delivered α-propiolyl aminoamides in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (31 examples, up to 95% ee). The following treatment of Ugi-adducts with PPh3 leads to chiral 2,5-DKPs without significant loss of enantioselectivities (26 examples, up to 91% ee).

Abstract
Novel asymmetric mono- and dialkylation reactions of α-substituted 2,5-diketopiperazines catalyzed by new chiral spirocyclic-amide-derived triazolium organocatalysts have been developed, resulting in a range of enantioenriched 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives containing one or two tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters. The reactions feature high yields (up to 98%), and excellent cis-diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, >99 % ee), and they provide a new asymmetric synthetic approach to important functionalized 2,5-diketopiperazine skeletons. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed based on both control experiments and extensive DFT calculations.

Abstract
![]()
Asymmetric construction
of dithiodiketopiperazines on otherwise
achiral scaffolds remains a pivotal synthetic challenge encountered
in many biologically significant natural products. Herein, we report
the first total syntheses of (−)-glionitrin A/B and revise
the absolute configurations. Emerging from the study is a novel oxidative
sulfenylation of triketopiperazines that enables asymmetric formation
of dithiodiketopiperazines on sensitive substrates. The concise
route paves the way for further studies on the potent antimicrobial
and antitumor activities of glionitrin A and the intriguing ability
of glionitrin B to inhibit invasive ability of cancer cells.

Abstract
The acidity of the α-proton in peptides has an essential role in numerous biochemical reactions and underpins their stereochemical integrity, which is critical to their biological function. We report a detailed kinetic and computational study of the acidity of the α-proton in two cyclic peptide systems: diketopiperazine (DKP) and triketopiperazine (TKP). The kinetic acidity (protofugality) of the α-protons were determined though hydrogen deuterium exchange studies in aqueous solutions. The acidities of the α-proton in prolyl residues were increased by 3–89 fold relative to other amino acid residues (prolyl > glycyl ≫ alanyl > tyrosyl). Experimental and computational evidence for the stereoelectronic origins of this enhanced prolyl reactivity is presented. TKPs were 106-fold more reactive than their DKP analogues towards deprotonation, which we attribute to the advanced development of aromaticity in the earlier transition state for proton transfer in these cases. A Brønsted linear free energy analysis of the reaction data was conducted to provide estimates of α-proton pKas. Kinetic and computational studies reveal that prolyl residues in cyclic peptides are substantially more acidic than other residues due to a stereoelectronic effect.![]()

Abstract
A new indole alkaloid, named taichunamide H (1), was obtained from cultures of the fungus Aspergillus versicolor. With observation of a carbon resonance with a chemical shift of 190.4 ppm, generally thought to be a carbonyl, the structure of 1 was initially proposed to be a diastereomer of taichunamide A that contains a unique spiro-azetidine moiety. Further analysis of compound 1 using X-ray diffraction showed that the spiro-azetidine moiety should be revised as a fused-imine-containing pyrrole ring, with the resonance at 190.4 ppm assigned as an imine carbon. Accordingly, the structure of taichunamide A was also revised.

Abstract
The convergent synthesis of bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane structures using an intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition between a pyrazinone and commercially available fumarate or maleate precursors is reported. High reactivity and stereoselection is observed with both dienophile substrates. Structure validation was achieved by conversion of cycloadducts into known [2.2.2]diazabicyclic compounds or into crystalline derivatives suitable for X-ray analysis. The cycloadduct derived from reaction of pyrazinone and maleic anhydride underwent selective anhydride ring opening and intersected an established precursor in the synthesis of brevianamide B.

Abstract
The highly enantioselective alkylation of α-CF3 enolates, generated from triketopiperazines, has been accomplished through use of a bifunctional thiourea organocatalyst to facilitate 1,4-addition to varied enone acceptors. On treatment with appropriate nitrogen nucleophiles, the chiral triketopiperazine products undergo a metamorphosis, to provide novel fused heterocyclic lactams such as extended pyrazolopyrimidines.
