Dehydrogenation of 1-aryl(hetaryl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids and their esters with dimethyl sulfoxide

Resumo

Oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-aryl(hetaryl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9Н-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids derivatives with dimethyl sulfoxide leads to the formation of 1-aryl(hetaryl)-9Н-β-carbolines. Simultaneously with the dehydrogenation decarboxylation occurs. At the oxidation with dimethyl sulfoxide of methyl 1-aryl (hetaryl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9Н-β-carboline-3-carboxylicates methyl 1-aryl(hetaryl)-9Н-β-carboline-3-carboxylates formed whose hydrolysis afforded the corresponding 1-aryl(hetaryl)-9Н-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids.
