Unnatural aromaticaminoacids are useful tools in drug discovery, since their insertion in bioactive peptide sequences can change the sidechains spatial orientation, the backbone conformation and above all, their bioactivity. In this communication, we propose a straightforward method to synthesize 2′,6′‐dimethyl‐tyrosine and 2′,6′‐dimehylphenyl‐alanine derivatives as handling building blocks for
