Abstract Amino acid derived spirocyclic 2,6‐dioxopiperazines are easily and regioselectively opened by base‐promoted nucleophilic attack of hydroxide or H 2 O on the less crowded carbonyl group at C‐6 to give N ‐(1‐carbamoylcyclohexyl)amino acid derivatives. However, the imide group of the 2,6‐dioxopiperazine ring is rather unreactive toward alcohols, alkoxides, and amines. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
