An investigation of the reaction of tryptophan and its methyl ester with ninhydrin has been conducted. In the reaction of tryptophan with ninhydrin only one product, yohimbanone (1), is isolated. In contrast, an intermediate, Pictet -Spengler product 3, is isolated from the reaction of tryptophan me

β¦ Synopsis
Acetylene (3) is formed by the novel reaction of a foiled carbene (6).
We have described the efficient (ca. 80% yield) conversion of (1; X = Br or H) into ( ) and ( ) (ratio 4.2:1) upon treatment with "BuLi.' Two mechanisms can be envisaged for the formation of the

Efficient synthesis of benzofuroquinolizine ketone 1 was accomplished in four steps from ethyl 3benzofuranacetate. The O-analogue of the Pictet-Spengler cyclization was used to form the benzofuroquinolizine ring structure as a key step.
