13. We define higher α-halovinyl amino acids as α-amino acids bearing the usual α-side chain (≠H) and an additional halovinyl substituent in place of the usual α-proton.
14. To our knowledge, there is only one previously reported synthesis of a higher α-halovinyl amino acid. Namely, treatment of 3,4-dimethoxy-α-ethynylphenylalanine with 47% HBr at reflux for 4 h yields internal α-bromovinyl-DOPA in 31% yield: reference 8j.
