Synthesis of 4,6-Difluoro-Tryptophan as a Probe for Protein 19F NMR
{{output}}
A scalable procedure for the synthesis of 4,6-difluorotryptophan is reported based on a deaminative coupling of a 4,6-difluorogramine with 2-benzylthio-1,5-dihydro-4H-imidazolone as glycine equivalent. Thus prepared 4,6-difluorotryptophan was incorporated into... ...
