Abstract

Electron deficient cyclic α-amino acid derivatives bearing 1, 4-benzoquinone and 1, 4- anthraquinone side chains were synthesized by a novel route. The common precursor, 2- amino-4, 7-dimethoxy-indan-2-carboxylic acid, may be incorporated into a peptide prior to the final oxidation and annelation reactions.
