Oxazolo[3′,2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indoles and [1,3]-Oxazino[3′,2′:1,2]-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles by a Simple Condensation Reaction of 3,4-Dihydro-β-carboline with α- and β-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids 3,4-Dihydro-β-carboline (3) is reacted with trimethylsilyloxyacyl chlorides 2a, 2b, 7 and 11 to give the 1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones 4a/5a and 4b/5b and the 1,3-oxazin-4-ones 8/9 and 12, respectively, representing a new condensation reaction. The enantiomeric purity of the compounds 4a and 5a derived from (S)-mandelic acid [(S)-1a] is found to be greater than 99.5 ee thus establishing that the procedure is compatible with chiral compounds.
