Their structures were determined by X-Ray crystallographic analysis and chemical correlations. An SN2 mechanism on the indole nitrogen (1-position) is proposed., 金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科生理活性物質科学, 金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科生理活性物質科学, 金沢大学薬学部}, pages = {163--172}, title = {Nucleophilic substitution reaction at the 1-position of 1-hydroxytryptamine and -tryptophan derivatives}, volume = {61}, year = {2003} }
