To gain access to 3-propoxy-β-carboline hydrochloride (3-PBC·HCl) (1·HCl) and β-carboline-3-carboxylate-tert-butyl ester (βCCt) (2), potential clinical agents active against alcohol self-administration, a two-step route was developed. This process involves a palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig coupling and an intramolecular Heck reaction. This two-step route provides rapid access to multigram quantities of 3-PBC (1) and βCCt (2), as well as analogues for studies of alcohol self-administration. The overall yield of 3-PBC (1) was improved from 8% to 50% by this route.
为了获得 3-丙氧基-β-咔啉盐酸盐(3-PBC·HCl)(1·HCl)和β-咔啉-3-羧酸叔丁酯(βCCt)(2),这两种有希望的临床药物可以对抗酒精自我给药,开发了一种两步法。该过程涉及钯催化的 Buchwald-Hartwig 偶联和分子内 Heck 反应。该两步法可以快速获得多克数量的 3-PBC(1)和βCCt(2),以及用于酒精自我给药研究的类似物。通过该路线,3-PBC(1)的总收率从 8%提高到 50%。
