α,β-Dehydrotryptophan 4 is synthesized by a sequence of reactions starting with the corresponding serine derivative 1. This procedure includes substitution reaction between indole and the methylamino group of the β-(N-methylamino)dehydroalanine derivative 3 in acetic acid. The key intermediate 3 is obtained by oxidation of 1 with dimethylsulfoxide activated by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, followed by reaction of the resulting β-O-tosyldehydroserine 2 with methylamine.

β-O-Tosyldehydroserine 3 is prepared directly by the oxidation of the corresponding serine derivative 1 with dimethyl sulfoxide which is activated by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. The enol tosylate 3 retains reactivities characteristic of aldehydes like those expected for the corresponding dehydroserine derivative 2. A typical reaction of 3 includes substitution of the tosyl group with nucleophiles such as primary and secondary amines, leading to other dehydroamino acids.
