title: Regioselective photo-oxidation of 1-benzyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-beta-carbolines.
abstract: The synthesis of a series of beta-carboline-based analogues of the natural product fascaplysin is presented; the compounds were produced using a novel photo-oxidation reaction of 1-benzyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-beta-carbolines as the key step.
