## Abstract Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a prominent neuropeptide, exhibiting a wide spectrum of biological activities in mammals. However, the clinical applications of VIP are mainly hampered because of its rapid degradation __in vivo__. Peptide glycosylation, a procedure frequently used
A mild and general method for the synthesis of dimethylallyl tryptophan derivatives 11 and 12 is described. Reaction of the 3-(r,X-dimethyl-allyl) indoles i'a or 7b with the nitroso olefin 8 yields the cycloadducts 9a (93%) and 9b (87%), respectively. Subsequent treatment of 9a with trifluoroacetic
