An expedient synthetic route for 3-aryl β-carbolin-1-ones was developed starting from ethyl acetamidocyanoacetate and chalcone derivatives. The five- and six-membered nitrogen-containing rings in the β-carbolin-1-ones were elaborated efficiently by an intramolecular ketone-nitrile annulation and an intramolecular N-arylation of amide respectively.

A novel three-step synthesis of 3-aryl β-carbolin-1-ones from non-indole starting materials has been developed. The two nitrogen atoms in β-carbolin-1-one were introduced efficiently by Michael addition of ethyl acetamidocyanoacetate to chalcone. The desired pyridone and indole rings were assembled by an intramolecular ketoneânitrile annulation mediated by aqueous HClâHOAc and a Cu(I)-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation of the amide, respectively. The target compounds were found to possess significant activity against tumor cell proliferaton.
