The anaerobic photolysis of either Glycine‐ l ‐Tryptophan or Glycine‐ l ‐Tryptophan‐Glycine, leads to one major product. These analogous compounds are shown to be the result of deamination followed by cyclization to the 4‐position of indole. Structural proof is given, and the possible mechanisms involved in the reaction are discussed.
