11. The Aib derivative, 1, was synthesized by first reacting Aib with thionyl chloride in ethanol to give the ethyl ester of Aib as the hydrochloride salt. This was then N-alkylated with benzyl bromide to give 1.

14. In a typical procedure, 1 (0.20 mmol), Fmoc-amino acid chloride (0.20 mmol) and zinc dust (1.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (0.5 mL) were stirred at 90 °C for 2 h at 60-70 psi in a CEM Discover® microwave reactor. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, quenched with dry methanol (0.5 mL), filtered and concentrated onto silica. Purification by flash chromatography afforded pure products.
