Abstract
1. The reduction of the nitro group in methylα-indolyl-β-nitroacrylate proceeds regioselectively using platinum group metals (pd and Pt) supported on activated carbon as the heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysts. 2. Reduction of the indolylnitroacrylate by SnCl2 and hydrochloric acid gives a high yield ofα,β-dehydrotryptophan ester. 3. NMR spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction structural analysis showed the predominance of the Z-configuration of esters of dehydrotryptophan and its mono- and diacetyl derivatives in solution and in the crystalline state.
