Abstract

The selective O-deprotection of (1'S)-4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1-[1'-phenylmethyloxymethyl-2'-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]ethyl]-2-oxopiperazine furnished an enantiomerically pure alcohol whose regio- and diastereoselective C3-alkylation yielded either (3R)- or (3S)-1,3,4-trisubstituted-2-oxopiperazines in high diastereomeric purity. These derivatives were efficiently transformed into (1'R)- or (1'S)-peptide templates utilizable to prepare peptidomimetics. This method provides easy access to each 1,3,4-trisubstituted-2-oxopiperazine diastereomer and facilitates, through the large choice of substituents at the 3-position together with the chemistry that can be performed on the N1 substituent, the preparation of a large number of diastereomerically pure constrained peptidomimetics from a single precursor.
