@Fomelogo sodium borohydride is most likely not aggressive enough to reduce the amide.

Nice post. Could you post the mech from tryptophan viatetralin and sodium cyanoborohydride? Also would it be possible to decarboxylate tryptophan using Hunsdiecker reaction and then n-methylate. Im not aware of any N-methylation reactions outside of enzymatic reactions.

@bryantm6 I posted a video going through what you suggested. I don't believe tetralin could have any part to play in the mechanism, looks like a solvent to me.
