C‐2 aroyl and arylmethaniminoindolederivatives can be synthesized by catalytic oxidativeringopening of tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines in moderate to excellent yields. The method can be use to synthesize Luzindole, a selective melatonin receptor antagonist and an investigational drug against depression and disruption of the circadian rhythm, on multi‐gram scale.
