Significance

The 2.5-diketopiperazine skeleton is found in many natural products and bioactive compounds. The authors synthesized diketopiperazines from α-amino amides and diazophosphonate ester via Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed amine-directed N–H functionalization.

Comment

Various diketopiperazines were prepared from α-amino amides and diazophosphonate ester by way of this Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed reaction. The phosphonate group was subsequently converted into the corresponding alkene by Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction.
