In the present investigation, the research carried out into the total synthesis of the assigned structure of cairomycin A, 6-isopropyl-2,5-diketopiperazine-3-acetic acid from its precursors L-valine and L-aspartic acid, and its analogue N`-(3-methyl-1-hydroxybutyr-2-yl)azetidin-2-one-4-carboximide from 4-vinylazetidi-2-one through two different sequence reactions. Structures of the synthesized products were identified by using chemical and physical methods such as elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR and MS. The obtained results were compared with those reported, it was found that neither of the synthesized compounds was Cairomycin A.
