Synthesis of α, β and γ-carbolines via Pd-mediated C_sp2-H/N–H activation

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of halo-carbolines has been developed <italic>via</italic> Pd-catalysed formation of C–N bonds through C_sp2-H/N–H activation of 4-methyl-<italic>N</italic>-[2-(pyridine-3-yl)phenyl] benzenesulfonamide derivatives.
