76. It should be noted that other procedures for obtaining these esters of 3-amino-2-(1H-3-indolyl)propanoic acid exist in the literature (for example, see: Droste, H.; Wieland, T. Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1987, 901-910). However, these routes either are laborious, are comprised of steps of low yield, or require harsh reagents.
