In alkaline solution (NaOH 0,1 M), methyldopa generates orangish solution. I suspect it turns into indolic compounds by base catalysed oxidation (possibly oligomers). How can I confirm qualitativily if it is an indole derivative or not? (can't be the indole test)

Is there any other indole test? Or any primary amine test that could give negative result?
