A concise five-step synthesis of L-3-(o-methoxybenzoyl)alanine, a selective kynurenine hydroxylase inhibitor is described starting from commercially available 4-benzyl L-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) aspartate. Aryl lithium addition to the corresponding Weinreb amide successfully served as the key step.

Key words: L-3-(o-methoxybenzoyl)alanine, Weinreb amide, aryl lithium, kynurenine hydroxylase, inhibitor
