3-Substituted L-histidine derivatives were prepared by a regiospecific alkylation of N,1-bis-Boc-L-histidine methyl ester with in situ-generated alkyl triflates, benzyl triflates, and benzyl mesylates. Subsequent acid hydrolysis of N-Boc and methyl ester protecting groups afforded a variety of modified L-histidines as their dihydrohalide salts in good overall yield.
