Abstract

"Gas-solid-phase" method for the preparation of some cyclic dipeptides, 2,5-dioxopiperazines (diketopiperazines), is described. The method implies cyclodimerization of vaporous aliphatic α-amino acids in the presence of silica at reduced pressure and yields optically active 2,5-dioxopiperazines.
