Cleavage of the Boc group with 5% TFA followed by basic treatment resulted in the cyclisation to the dioxopiperazine 10. Acetylation and subsequent treatment with LiClO4 and
- DBU is a common strategy for the dehydration of serine and threonine units in peptides [16], but unfortunately the acetylation of 10 failed. Interestingly, the direct treatment of 10 with LiClO4 and DBU under prolonged reaction times (3 days) resulted in the elimination of water. This reaction
