Abstract: Objective: To broaden the categories of tryptophan derivatives for the synthesis of monothylindole alkaloids. Methods: Using commercially available L-5-hydroxytryptophan as raw material, L-5-hydroxytryptophan derivatives were synthesized through carboxyl esterification, amino Boc protection, ester ammonolysis, acetylation or methylation of hydroxyl and deprotection of Boc. Results: Secen L-5-hydroxytryptophan derivatives were efficiently synthesized, namely L-5-hydroxytryptophan formamide(1), L-5-hydroxytryptophan acetamide(2), L-5-hydroxytryptophan propionamide(3), L-5-acetoxytryptophan methyl ester(4), L-5-acetoxytryptophan formamide(5), L-5-methoxytryptophan methyl ester(6) and L-5-methoxytryptophan formamide(7), respectively. Compounds 4, 5 and 7 were new derivatives, and the structures of all derivatives were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. Conclusion: The synthesis method has the characteristics of simple operation, mild reaction condition and high total yield, which is suitable for industrial production.
