Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>β‐Carbolines are present in a wide variety of indole alkaloids that display important biological activities. Here we review the most recent aspects of the chemistry of β‐carbolines with a focus on functionalization of the β‐carboline system and transformations into other interesting compounds. Aromatizations, reductions and alkylations of the heterocyclic system are thus summarized first, followed by methodologies directed towards the formation of additional fused rings. Finally, rearrangements that transform β‐carbolines into other heterocyclic systems are covered.</jats:p>
