Consecutive Four-Component Coupling-Addition Aza-Anellation <i>Pictet</i>–<i>Spengler</i> Synthesis of Tetrahydro-<i>β</i>-Carbolines: An Optimized <i>Michael</i> Addition and Computational Study on the Aza-Anellation Step

Starting from acid chlorides, alkynes, tryptamines, and acryloyl chloride, 21 densely substituted tetrahydro-<i>β</i>-carbolines were prepared in a four-component, one-pot reaction. In this study, the aza-<i>Michael</i> addition step to generate intermediate enaminones was op...
