Synthetic Transformations of Higher Terpenoids. 38.* Synthesis of Conjugates Containing β-Carboline and Tricyclic Diterpenoids

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

The synthesis and properties of tricyclic pimaranes containing a C-16 β-carboline are reported. A Pictet–Spengler reaction of methyl 15-oxo-16-formylisopimarate (prepared in situ from the 15-oxo-15,16-dihydroisopimarate) and tryptamine or tryptophan methyl ester in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid formed a mixture of terpenoid 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines, 3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines, and β-carbolines. Tetrahydro- and dihydro-β-carbolines in CHCl3 were oxidized to the corresponding β-carbolines by treatment in air with basic Al2O3.
