✦ Synopsis


The trianion of 3-(S-indolyl)-propionic acid was condensed with diethyl oxalate to give ethyl 4-(B-indolyl)-2-ketobutyrate which, upon coupling with various dipeptides, gave potent angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

Recently, a-anions of carboxylate salts have become viable synthonsl.

Such dianions have
