Thirty-one kinds of N-(α-naphthylacetyl) amino acid were prepared by the Schotten-Baumann method. These derivatives were considered to be useful for the growth of plants. These derivatives had smaller specific rotation than phenacetyl-amino acids. N-(α-Naphthylacetyl)-L-homoserine was found to undergo cyclization to its lactone by treatment with hydrochloric acid.
