Open chain Cbz‐ L ‐aa 1 ‐ L ‐Pro‐Bt (Bt=benzotriazole) sequences were converted into either the corresponding trans ‐ or cis ‐fused 2,5‐diketopiperazines (DKPs) depending on the reaction conditions. Thermodynamic tandem cyclization/epimerization afforded selectively the corresponding trans ‐DKPs (69–75 %). Complementarily, tandem deprotection/cyclization led to the cis ‐DKPs (65–72 %). A representative set of proline‐containing cis‐ and trans‐ DKPs has been prepared. A mechanistic investigation, based on chiral HPLC, kinetics, and computational studies enabled a rationalization of the results.
