Abstract
From 2-(2-aminoethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1), the synthesis of comp
ounds possessing the azatetrahydrocarboline moiety was described. The
Fujii procedure did not afford the expected tetracyclic compound (5).
However, the Pictet-Spengler reaction led to tricyclic aza-gamma-carbo
linic type compounds (8a-c).
