N ‐acetyl‐4‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (2), N ‐acetyl‐5‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (3), N ‐acetyl‐6‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (4) and N ‐acetyl‐7‐nitrotryptophan methyl ester (5) were synthesized through a modified malonic ester reaction of the appropriate nitrogramine analogs followed by methylation with BF 3 ‐methanol. Assignments of the 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts were made using a combination of 1 H– 1 H COSY, 1 H– 13 C HETCOR and 1 H– 13 C selective INEPT experiments.
