This paper reports the synthesis of a scries of-alkyltryptophans and tryptamines in which the indole nucleus may be substituted in the 5-position. The tryptophans were prepared by condensation of the appropriate gramine with ethyl a-nitropropionate followed by reduction and saponification. The tryptamines were prepared by four procedures: a) decar-boxylation of the above nitroester followedby reduction of the nitro groups; b) alkylation of a nitroparaffin with a gramine or c) with an indole-3-carboxaldehyde, followed by reduction; d) treatment of tryptophan with an appropriate alkanoic anhydride followed by Wolff-Kishner reduction of the resulting acylaminoketone.
