Direct and selective functionalization of a tetrahydro-beta-carboline at position 4.
The first example of direct functionalization of a tetrahydro-beta-carboline (THBC) at position 4 is presented. Nucleophiles with various reactivity add to a transient intermediate generated in situ from this THBC. This reaction proceeds with a total control of the two created stereogenic centers.
