Synthesis and reaction of novel nitrogen Bridgehead heterocycles

Abstract

β-Carboline derivatives display a wide range of interesting biological activities from intercalation to enzyme inhibition and anticancer to psychological activity. β- Carboline compounds are frequently isolated from natural products in the β- carbolinium form and thus contain a bridgehead quaternary nitrogen.
