Procedure

L-tryptophan (5.10 g, 25 mmol), water (300 ml), H2SO4 (0.5M, 50 ml), n-butyraldehyde (10 ml) and ethanol (100 ml) were added in a 250 ml round-bottom flask, and then stirred and reacted at room temperature for 24 h. After filtration, wash with water and drying, white solids (3.75 g, 58%) were obtained.
