A convenient synthesis for the conversion of various substituted tetrahydro-β-carbolines has been developed by iron-catalyzed decarboxylative/dehydrogenative aromatization to construct aromatic β-carbolines under air atmosphere. In the presence of a FeCl3 catalyst, this reaction exhibited a good functional group tolerance to produce corresponding β-carbolines in good yields in the absence of any additive. Additionally, the utility of the method was highlighted in the gram-scale synthesis of important natural β-carboline synthons norharmane (2a) and harmane (2b), which the latter provide practical access towards eudistomin N and nostocarboline.

A synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of β-carbolines by one-pot decarboxylation and aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acids by employing 10?mol% of iodine in presence of oxidant aqueous H2O2. The method was also successfully extended for the aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-methyl esters. The utility of the method was demonstrated in the synthesis of β-carboline alkaloids norharmane, harmane and eudistomin N.

A facile method for the synthesis of a variety of β-carbolines and their natural products such as norharmane (2a), harmane (2b), eudistomins I, N, T, and U (6, 7, 9 and 10, respectively) has been successfully developed via a decorboxylative aromatization tool by employing N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as a mild and efficient reagent. Gratifyingly, this reagent system proceeds in a one-pot manner and converted all the tetrahydro-β-carboline acids into their corresponding decorboxylative aromatic products with good to excellent yields. Additionally, this system works well in the case of tetrahydro-β-carboline esters to produce their aromatic partners in high yields.
