journal contribution
posted on 2010-03-05, 00:00 authored by Daniel Priebbenow, Luke HendersonLuke Henderson, Fred PfefferFred Pfeffer, S StewartA simple and efficient palladium-catalyzed domino reaction for the synthesis of a series of C1-substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines is described. This domino process involves a Heck reaction at the indole 2-position of a halogenated tryptamine precursor, followed by intramolecular aza-Michael addition.
