22. Racemic 2-ethylthio-, N∗-hydroxytryptophan ethyl ester has been prepared from 3-ethylthioindole by this method. The concurrent rearomatization of the indole nucleus and the attachment of the 2-thioether involved the migration of an alkylthio group. See: Plate, R., Ottenheijm, H.C.J., Nivard, R.J.F. J. Org.
