<i>De novo</i> synthesis of alkynalted tryptophan moieties as chemical probes for protein profilling studies, via an unexpected synthesis of Michael acceptor 12 is reported. Friedel Craft's alkylation of 12 and alkyne substituted indoles gave alkynalated tryptophan moieties, which perform as chemical probe by incorporating into actively translating <i>Escherichia coli</i> cells, whereby the alkyne moiety enables multimodal analyses through click chemistry mediated attachment of reporting groups. ...[more]
