title: Enantiopure Tetrahydro-beta-carbolines via Pictet-Spengler Reactions with N-Sulfinyl Tryptamines.
abstract: The influence of N-sulfinyl chiral auxiliaries on the stereochemistry of the Pictet-Spengler reaction has been investigated. From enantiopure (R)-N-p-toluenesulfinyltryptamine a new and efficient route to enantiopure tetrahydro-beta-carbolines has been established.
