21 Attempts to use a silica gel bath as the heat sink were unsuccessful.
22 Working at these scales, it is advisable to preheat the alumina in the heat sink before introducing the vial or flask containing the dipeptide. For instance, the preparation of compound 5g starting from 1 g of the dipeptide was carried out in 97% yield after preheating the alumina bath for 5 min followed by a single 5 min pulse, while a reaction in the same scale without preheating required 18 min (in 3-min pulses) and gave 87% yield.

35 In order to facilitate the comparison of NMR assignments, the numbering employed for C6 -unsubstituted systems has been retained in these compounds, even though it does not assign the lowest locant to the first named substituents, all other factors being equal.
