β-carboline alkaloids, Part 8. Regioselective homolytic acetylation of β-carbolines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508011768

Homolytic acetylation of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-β-carboline and norharmane occurs selectively at 1-position. Better yields are obtained by generation of the acetyl radical from acetyldehyde than by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid.
