An improved sulfenylation method for the preparation of epidithio-, epitetrathio-, and bis-(methylthio)diketopiperazines from diketopiperazines has been developed. Employing NaHMDS and related bases and elemental sulfur or bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]trisulfide (23) in THF, the developed method was applied to the synthesis of a series of natural and designed molecules, including epicoccin G (1), 8,8′-epi-ent-rostratin B (2), gliotoxin (3), gliotoxin G (4), emethallicin E (5), and haematocin (6). Biological screening of selected synthesized compounds led to the discovery of a number of nanomolar antipoliovirus agents (i.e., 46, 2,2′-epi-46, and 61) and several low-micromolar anti-Plasmodium falciparum lead compounds (i.e., 46, 2,2′-epi-46, 58, 61, and 1).

Sulfurs in action: A practical and simple method has been developed for the introduction of sulfur atoms into 2,5-diketopiperazines (I) under mild conditions. The reaction provides more or less complex epidithiodiketopiperazines (II) and bis-methylthiodik

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.
