L-Tryptophan → 2-[(4-chlorophenyl)formamido]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

By using 10 g of L-tryptophane and 9 g of 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride, and a method similar to that described in reference example 6, recrystallized from methanol-water there was obtained 13.3 g of 2-(4-chlorobenzoylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)propionic acid in the form of colorless needle-like crystals. Melting point: 100°-102° C. [α]D25 -49.3° (C=1, methanol)
