Abstract

Abstract Michael addition to methyl acrylate and methyl vinyl ketone of Nb‐benzylidene‐L‐tryptophan methyl ester 1 gave 2‐(3‐indolylmethyl)glutamic dimethyl ester 2a and α‐(3‐oxobutyl)tryptophan methyl ester 2b respectively. Addition to acrylonitrile of 1 yielded α,Na‐dicyanoethyltryptophan methyl ester 3.
