✦ Synopsis


Unprecedented aromatization was observed during N-alkylation reactions of 1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-bcarboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester, giving rise to 9-alkyl-1-methyl-b-carboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl esters. Inverse addition of base during a similar reaction resulted in a chemoselective alkylation to form novel 3-butyl-1-methyl-3,4-dihydro-b-carboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as the major product in good yield.
