Treatment of a solution containing a 1 : 1 : 1 mixture of the chiral thiazole and oxazole-based amino acids 4, 8 and 9 with pentafluorodiphenylphosphinate in diisopropylethylamine in acetonitrile at room temperature for 2 h resulted in the formation of dendroamide A 7 (23%) and its positional isomer 15 (22%), together with symmetrical thiazole-based macrocyclic trimers in a combined yield of 30%. An independent, linear, synthesis of dendroamide A confirmed the structure and stereochemistry assigned to this natural cyclic hexapeptide.
