A convenient synthesis of beta-carbolines by iron-catalyzed aerobic decarboxylative/dehydrogenative aromatization of tetrahydro-beta-carbolines under air

A convenient synthesis for the conversion of various substituted tetrahydro-beta-carbolines has been developed by iron-catalyzed decarboxylative/dehydrogenative aromatization to construct aromatic beta-carbolines under air atmosphere. In the presence of a FeCl3 catalyst, this reaction exhibited a go...
