The chem., synthesis of model compounds, selection of building blocks, and synthesis of a library of 1,4,7-trisubstituted perhydro-1,4-diazepine-2,5-diones are described.Secondary diamines and Fmoc protected amino alcs. were attached to chlorotrityl resin and the amino group acylated with Fmoc-Asp(OAll).The Fmoc group was cleaved, and the amino group alkylated.Then bromoacetic acid was coupled to the amino group and the bromide displaced by primary amines.After removal of the allyl ester function, the seven membered ring was closed upon mild activation of the carboxyl group.Products were cleaved from the resin by TFA vapor.
