Tetrahydro-β-carbolines with strictosamide skeleton have been synthesized via intermolecular condensation, selective reduction, and intramolecular cyclization starting from phthalic anhydrides and tryptamine. The reactions are carried out undermild conditions with a wide range of substrates and functional groups.
- Phthalic anhydride,
- Tryptamine,
- Tetrahydro-β-carboline,
- Strictosamide
