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).
