Abstract

Several biologically important 1-acetyl-3-carboxamide-β-carboline derivatives were rapidly synthesized by ultrasound-promoted amide coupling of 1-acetyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid with substituted aromatic amines. The major advantages of the proposed method are that use of ultrasound irradiations afforded the desired products in a drastically reduced reaction time and in excellent yields compared with conventional stirring.

  • 33 Conventional method for the synthesis of 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxamide derivatives (3a–k); General procedure: To a stirred solution of 1 (1 equiv) in DMF were added EDC·HCl (1.1 equiv) and HOBt (1.1 equiv), followed by addition of DIPEA (2.1 equiv). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 minutes. The requisite amine 2ac was added portionwise and the reaction was stirred at r.t. for 15–18 h (Table 1). Progress of reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold water, and the precipitate filtered. Column chromatography on silica (100–200 mesh), eluting with 30–40% ethyl acetate/hexane gave the pure 1-acetyl-3-carboxamide-β-carboline derivatives 3ac.Ultrasound method for the synthesis of 1-acetyl-3-carboxamide-β-carboline derivatives (3a–k); General procedure: To a stirred solution of 1 (1equiv) in DMF were added EDC·HCl (1.1 equiv) and HOBt (1.1 equiv), followed by addition of DIPEA (2.1 equiv).
