K. Kaniappan et M. Murugesan, SYNTHESIS OF SOME GAMMA-CARBOLINES THROUGH THERMAL INDOLIZATION OF 4-PIPERIDONES, Indian Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 7(1), 1997, pp. 69-70
1,3-Diphenyl-1-2,3,4-tetahydro-gamma-carbolines (3a-d) have been synth
esized by the Fischer-type thermal indolization of phenylhydrazones (e
ither preformed or formed in situ) of the piperidin-4-ones (2a-d) and
their structures have been established on the basis of chemical and sp
ectral evidences and by comparison with literature data.
