IN connexion with our studies on the antibiotic, Thiostrepton,' we have prepared a number of 2-(a-aminoalkyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acids (I, R=H, Me, Et end CHMe2). Since thiazole structures have been advanced for degradation products of other peptide antibiotics, 2,j a brief account of our results

β¦ Synopsis
We wish to report a new synthetic route to N,N'-disuhstituted diketopiperazines (VI) via their tetraethyl acetals (V) from ketene acetal (I) and sulfonic azides (II). Compounds I and II reacted completely within 24 hours at -20Β°C in a 1:l molar ratio in the absence of a solvent.
The yield was nearly quantitative with a small amount of ether soluble oily byproduct.

By treating N-(4-toluenesulfonyl)-N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-dehydroamino acid derivatives with different reactants under different conditions, a variety of new amino acids are obtained, viz. (i) a-alcoxy-a-amino acids, (ii) a,a-diamino acids and (iii) novel b-substituted dehydroamino acids.
