, p. 33 - 39 (1983)
Irradiation of β-carboline derivatives gives two products involving the formation of new N-N or N-C bonds.On the basis of MS and 1H-NMR data dimeric structures were established.Some aspests of the photophysical process and of the radical nature of theese dimerization rections are discussed.

β-Carboline alkaloid harmaline (HA) is a candidate drug molecule that has been proven to have broad and significant biological activity. Herein, the effects of HA on the riboflavin (RF)-sensitized photooxidation under aerobic conditions were studied for the first time. The photooxidation reaction of HA catalyzed by RF is triggered by UV light at 365 nm and shows a time-dependent stepwise reaction process. Seven transformed products, including five undescribed compounds, oxoharmalines A-E (1–4 and 7), and two known compounds, N-(2-(6-Methoxy-2-oxoindolin-3-yl)ethyl)acetamide (5) and harmine (6), were isolated and identified from the reaction system, following as the gradual oxidation mechanisms. The rare polymerization and dehydrogenation processes in radical-mediated photocatalytic reactions were involved in the process. The transformed products 2–7 exhibited significant neuroprotective activity in a model of H2O2-introduced injury in SH-SY5Y cells, which suggested that the products of the interaction between HA and vitamins may be beneficial to health.

The direct dehydrogenation of alkanes is among the most efficient ways to access valuable alkene products. Although several catalysts have been designed to promote this transformation, they have unfortunately found limited applications in fine chemical synthesis. Here, we report a conceptually novel strategy for the catalytic, intermolecular dehydrogenation of alkanes using a ruthenium catalyst. The combination of a redox-active ligand and a sterically hindered aryl radical intermediate has unleashed this novel strategy. Importantly, mechanistic investigations have been performed to provide a conceptual framework for the further development of this new catalytic dehydrogenation system.

Nitrogen-containing heteroarene motifs are found in numerous pharmaceuticals, natural products, and synthetic materials. Although several elegant methods for synthesis of these compounds through dehydrogenation of the corresponding saturated heterocycles have been reported, some of the methods are hampered by long reaction times, harsh conditions, and the need for catalysts that are not readily available. This work reports a novel method for dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles. Specifically, O2.? generated in situ acts as the oxidant for N-heterocycle substrates that are susceptible to oxidation through a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. This method provides a general, green route to N-heteroarenes.
