Metal-free access to β-carbolines via single-electron transfer catalyzed by a triaryl carbenium ion pair

Metal-free access to β-carbolines via single-electron transfer catalyzed by a triaryl carbenium ion pair

The β-carboline moiety exists in a wide range of drugs and natural products, but synthesis often relies on noble metals and stochiometric oxidants. Here, we develop a metal-free strategy using a triaryl carbenium ion pair as a catalyst to access β-carbolines from tryptamines and aromatic aldehydes....
