Abstract
Cyclic peptides containing sarcosine, cyclo‐(Pro‐Sar‐Gly)~2~, cyclo‐(Sar‐Sar‐Gly)~2~, cyclo‐(Sar~4~), and cyclo‐(Sar~6~) have been synthesized by the cyclization of the p‐nitrophenyl ester of linear peptides. The tert‐butoxycarbonyl group was used as the N^α^‐protecting group, which was removed by acid. Benzyl ester was used to protect the C‐terminal. tert‐butoxycarbonylpeptide was obtained by the stepwise elongation of the peptide bond by the carbodiimide method. Deblocking and cyclization of the linear peptides gave the cyclic peptides.

Cyclixation of a diary1 ether containing an or, m-amino acid residue leads to cyclic peptides which resemble the vancomycin binding pocket The glycopeptide antibiotics, exemplified by vancomycin, are believed to act by complexation with the car-boxy1 terminal of a pentapeptide unit which usually for
