Enantiospecific synthesis of 5-methoxy-D(+)- or L(-) tryptophan

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508011464

A method for the enantiospecific synthesis of 5-methoxy-D(+)-tryptophan 8 or the L(-)-optical antipode is described. This procedure can be scaled up and performed without the need for extensive chromatographic separations. It provides for the first time t
