Abstract
Crenatine, a new type of .beta.-carboline alkaloid having an oxygen function at its C4-position, was synthesized using ethyl 1-benzylindole-2-carboxylate as a starting material via cyclization of c2-substituent to C3-position of indole nucleus and AlCl3-catalyzed debenzylation for N-protected indoles.Keywords
