A variety of new symmetrical and unsymmetrical diketopiperazines have been prepared from free amino acids by using a previously developed microwave-assisted protocol. This included the successful incorporation of L-pyroglutamic acid as an unusual building block. The diketopiperazines were then thiolated electrophilically to the corresponding bis(methylthio)- and epidithiodiketopiperazines. Initial experiments showed a promising activity towards the generation of reactive oxygen species in HeLa cells. A variety of novel symmetrical and unsymmetrical thiodiketopiperazines have been prepared by methyl dichlorophosphite assisted dimerization of free amino acids and by thiolation of the resulting cyclic dipeptides with elemental sulfur and NaHMDS. Some of the sulfur compounds showed interesting activity in the generation of reactive oxygen species in HeLa cells.

Two general methods, Method A and Method B in Scheme 19, to synthesize epidithiapiperazinediones, are described.A total synthesis of racemic and optically active gliotoxin (1) and of racemic dehydrogliotoxin (53) was achieved by using Method A, whereas a total synthesis of racemic hyalodendrin (52) was completed by using Method B.

A synthesis of α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives 12 is described, which is of possible general applicability and might be useful for the preparation of peptides which have such a moiety in their sequence.I addition, several didehydrodioxopiperazines (13-1
