Doubling up : The direct bio‐inspired dimerization of commercially available amine‐free tryptophan derivatives in aqueous acidic media provides C 2 ‐symmetrical and nonsymmetrical dimeric compounds. Further processing completes the concise syntheses of naturally occurring dimeric diketopiperazine alkaloids such as (+)‐WIN 64821 (see picture) in overall yields of up to 20 %.
