The hydrochloride of the racemic amino acid (7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl)ethylglycine, a versatile fluorescent probe in proteins, has been synthesized in five steps from commercially available (7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl)acetic acid. The key step involves the alkylation of a glycine–enolate equivalent.

The hydrochloride of the racemic amino acid (2-(7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl)ethyl)glycine, which can serve as a fluorescent probe in proteins, and two halogen derivatives of it, were synthesized by using a new synthetic protocol in five steps. It is less costly and relatively easy to prepare this kind of fluorescent amino acid with the new synthetic method. Furthermore, it can be applied to synthesize other derivatives of the coumarin amino acid with some specific properties.

Amino acid derivatives of a modified indole-3-acetic acid have been synthesised. Fourteen new dipeptide-like compounds 3–4 were obtained and their structures were elucidated based on the IR, 1H NMR, MS spectra.
