General Procedure for the Bischler-Napieralski Type Intramolecular Cyclocondensation of N
,
S
-Acetals 3a-j, 3l and Thioamide 6. Synthesis of 1-(Substituted)meth-ylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines 4a-l: To a solution of the appropriate N,S-acetal or thioamide (3 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (15 mL), TFA (0.69 mL, 9 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. or refluxed for 4-5 h (for 4e; monitored by TLC). The reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with H2O (3 × 10 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product which was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using hexane-EtOAc (8:2) as eluent.
