Significance

Rapid generation of diketopiperazine libraries was achieved. Thus, Ugi four-component reactions (Ugi 4CRs) of the supported amine building block 1 with aldehydes, 1-iso­cyanocyclohexene, and N-Fmoc amino acids in H2O gave the Ugi products 2. Methyl esters 3 were formed by microwave (MW)-assisted methanolysis of 2. Deprotection from the N-Fmoc group and subsequent cyclization provided the supported piperazines 4 cleanly. After capping unreacted amines with acetic anhydride, photo-cleavage from the support gave the desired piperazines 5 with high purity (up to 91% purity).
