A new chiral guanidine catalyst has been synthesized by the reaction of (R)-1-(1-phenylethyl)guanidine and 2,3-diphenylcycloprop-2-enone. The catalyst was evaluated for the Pictet-Spenglerreaction in which tetrahydro-β-carbolines were obtained in good yields with up to 64% ee.

synthesis. Herein, we have developed a chemoselective copper-catalyzed carbene insertion protocol onto N−H bonds of tryptamine derivatives. Divergent insertion products are obtained by varying the nucleophilicity of the aliphatic NH of tryptamine with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups. The reaction provided N−H insertion products with broad substrate scope in good yields.
