Selective methylation and stereoselective reduction of a β-carboline to a N(2)-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline.
Abstract
The conversion of a β-carboline to a N(2)-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline has been achieved utilizing a chemoselective methylation of the N(2) nitrogen followed by a highly diastereoselective reduction.
