The Pictet–Spengler reaction in carbohydrate chemistry. Reactions of sugars with biogenic amines
Abstract
Pictet-Spengler condensations of dopamine with D-glucose and 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose, and of tryptamine with 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose, have afforded novel tetrahydroisoquinolines and a β-carboline respectively.
