Abstract: | A head‐to‐tail cyclization of a protected linear hexapeptide with a C‐terminal O‐acyl isopeptide proceeded to give a cyclic O‐acyl isopeptide without epimerization. The cyclic O‐acyl isopeptide possessed different secondary structures compared with the native cyclic peptide. The isopeptide was then efficiently converted to the desired cyclic peptide via an O‐to‐N acyl migration reaction using a silica gel‐anchored base.
