I'm sure you all know about the benzaldehyde reaction with alanine to form Phenylpropanolamine.
Here's my question. Do you think Indole-3-carboxaldehyde with alanine would yield Indole-3-propanolamine?
Would the aldehyde react with glycine to give indole-3-ethanolamine?
I assume it would, but I couldn't find anything regarding indole aldehydes in the akabori reaction. There also could be side reactions I'm not taking
into account.
