Doubling up: The direct bio‐inspired dimerization of commercially available amine‐free tryptophanderivatives in aqueousacidicmedia provides C2‐symmetrical and nonsymmetrical dimeric compounds. Further processing completes the concise syntheses of naturally occurring dimeric diketopiperazine alkaloids such as (+)‐WIN 64821 (see picture) in overall yields of up to 20 %.
diketopiperazine rings. Total yields of these alkaloidsyntheses were from 10 up to 27 %. In addition, 1′‐(2‐phenylethylene)‐ditryptophenaline was synthesized by using three one‐pot operations. The studies detailed herein provided synthesized natural products for inhibitory activities of ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) and foam cell formation in macrophages. The newly listed biologicalevaluation for tryptophan‐based
