Extension of the previously reported modification of Passerini multicomponent reaction (involving condensation with N-Boc-α-aminoaldehydes followed by a deprotection– transacylation step) to α-aminoacid derived carboxylic or isocyanide components, allowed the highly convergent and short synthesis of complex peptidomimetic structures, including known potent inhibitors of serine proteases.
