Abstract
The reaction of N-tosyltryptamines with thioortho esters, leading to 1-thiosubstituted tetrahydro-beta-carbolines under modified Pictet-Spengler conditions, is described. The 1-heterosubstituted beta-carbolines furnished 1-substituted beta-carbolines upon reaction with Grignard reagents and silyl derivatives under Lewis acid promotion. [reaction: see text]
