2,5-diketopiperazines (2,5-DKPs) are the smallest cyclic peptides in nature and display a variety of bioactivities including antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer, which are well documented pharmacophore. The one-pot synthesis of 2,5-DKPs is few reported. Herein, we report a novel one-pot synthesis of 2,5-DKPs via Ugi-4CR/SN2-cyclization strategy, under mild conditions, ethanol was used as a solvent for both procedures.
