2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs) are cyclic dipeptides ubiquitously found in nature. In particular, cyclo(Phe-Pro), cyclo(Leu-Pro), and cyclo(Val-Pro) are frequently detected in many microbial cultures. Each of these DKPs has four possible stereoisomers due to the presence of two chirality centers. However, absolute configurations of natural DKPs are often ambiguous due to the lack of a simple, sensitive, and reproducible method for stereochemical assignment. This is an important problem because stereochemistry is a key determinant of biological activity. Here, we report a synthetic DKP library containing all stereoisomers of cyclo(Phe-Pro), cyclo(Leu-Pro), and cyclo(Val-Pro). The library was subjected to spectroscopic characterization using mass spectrometry, NMR, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD). It turned out that ECD can clearly differentiate DKP stereoisomers. Thus, our ECD dataset can serve as a reference for unambiguous stereochemical assignment of cyclo(Phe-Pro), cyclo(Leu-Pro), and cyclo(Val-Pro) samples from natural sources. The DKP library was also subjected to a biological screening using assays for E. coli growth and biofilm formation, which revealed distinct biological effects of cyclo(D-Phe-L-Pro).

N-Boc-protected L-proline (6) was converted into the bicyclic lactim ether (8aS)-6,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-1-methoxypyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-4(3H)-one (5) in four steps (Scheme 1). Deprotonation with LDA or LHMDS and subsequent alkylation resulted in the diastereoisomeric products cis- and trans-9. The diastereoselectivity was mainly dependent on the electrophile. Whereas small alkyl halides gave preferably cis-9, sterically more-demanding alkyl halides resulted in cisltrans mixtures. Electrophiles bearing a π-system favored the trans-products 9. Some isolated cis- and tranx-lactim ethers 9 were converted to the corresponding diketopiperazines cis- and trans-10 by acid hydrolysis. The structures and configurations of several compounds were confirmed by NMR and NOE experiments, as well as by X-ray crystallography (Figs. 1-4).
