Abstract

The quinazolinocarboline alkaloids including rutaecarpine (1a), euxylophoricine A (1b), and euxylophoricine C (1c) have been synthesized efficiently from the ring opened β-carboline derivative as key intermediate by a one-pot reductive-cyclization reaction. The key intermediate was prepared from tryptamine (6) following Bischler-Napieralski cyclization, benzoylation, and oxidative cleavage of the exocyclic double bond.
