We report here a novel synthesis of optically active bishomotyrosine. The bishomotyrosine skeleton was constructed by using a Friedel-Crafts reaction between phenol and optically active N-Tfa-Glu(Cl)-OMe in triflic acid under the mild condition. Reduction and subsequent deprotection then afforded bishomotyrosine derivatives without any loss of optical purity.
