PhI(OAc)2-mediated one-pot oxidative decarboxylation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carbolines: synthesis of norharmane, harmane, eudistomin U and eudistomin I
Efficient and Practical One-Pot Conversions of N-Tosyltetrahydroisoquinolines into Isoquinolines and of N-Tosyltetrahydro-β-carbolines into β-Carbolines through Tandem β-Elimination and Aromatization
An efficient, practical, and general method for conversions of N-tosyltetrahydroisoquinolines (N-tosyl-THIQs) into isoquinolines and of N-tosyltetrahydro-β-carbolines (N-tosyl-THBCs) into β-carbolines is described. Treatment of N-tosyl-THIQs or N-tosyl-THBCs with base in dimethyl sulfoxide afforded dihydroisoquinolines or dihydro-β-carbolines as intermediates, and these were then oxidized in situ by

The oxidation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines to β-carbolines using silver carbonate was developed as an alternative to current methods. The oxidation is extremely mild and provides the products in modest to good yields after purification. A number of functional groups are tolerated by this methodology, including reduction-sensitive groups which are often cleaved with other methods. Though the mechanism
