Synthesis of 4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-β-carboline, a new inhibitor of cellular calcium influx

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087346

4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-β-carboline was prepared in four steps from indole. The key step involved palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of a dihydro-β- carboline dichlorophosphinic acid salt. The success of the dehydrogenation was found to depend on the catalys
