Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)77653-2

One-pot efficient and simple synthesis of γ-carboline derivatives by the Graebe-Ullmann method was conducted in a commercial microwave oven in a few minutes at a low energy level and using erlenmeyer as adequate reaction vessels. Yields are similar to those obtained by conventional heating.
