Application

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrocarbazole can be used as a starting material to prepare:
  • Spiro[cyclopentane-1,2′-indolin-3′-one] by photooxygenation.
  • 9-Acyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles by N-acylation reactions.
  • Carbazole via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reaction.

A novel series of 2-substituted aminomethyl-9-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole-1-ones 5a-q was synthesized via aminomethylation of 9-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole-1-ones 4a-e with hydrochlorides of the respective amines 6a-m. The structures of these newly synthesized compounds were characterized by (1)H-NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. All the compounds were

An investigation of the structure-affinity relationships for the binding of 4-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-N(9)-arylsulfonyl-9H-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles (conformationally-constrained analogues of the benzenesulfonyltryptamine 5-HT(6) antagonist MS-245) at human 5-HT(6) receptors revealed that various arylsulfonyl substituents are tolerated and that the 4-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl) group is not required for binding.

ConspectusThe Pictet-Spengler reaction is a fundamental named reaction in organic chemistry, and it is the most straightforward method for the synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, a core structure embedded in numerous alkaloids. Spiroindolenines are often proposed as possible intermediates in Pictet-Spengler reactions.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
