The synthesis of β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid and its esters (4) by oxidation of the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives (2) or of the 3,4-dihydro derivatives (3) has been studied.A novel synthesis of the esters (3) has been achieved in high yield by cyclization and elimination from the enamine (5).The relative inhibition of binding of a benzodiazepine to rat brain membranes by the esters (2)-(4) has been determined.
