Controlling the reaction selectivity of organic transformations without losing high conversion is always a challenge in catalytic processes. In this work, a H3PO4·12WO3/OMS-2 nanocomposite catalyst ([PW]-OMS-2) was prepared through the oxidation of a Mn(ii) salt with sodium phosphotungstate by KMnO4. Comprehensive characterization indicates that different Mn2+precursors significantly affected the crystalline phase and morphology of the as-synthesized catalysts and only MnSO4·H2O as the precursor could lead to a cryptomelane phase. Moreover, [PW]-OMS-2 demonstrated excellent catalytic activity toward aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines due to mixed crystalline phases, enhanced surface areas, rich surface oxygen vacancies and labile lattice oxygen species. In particular, β-carbolines and 3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines could be obtained from tetrahydro-β-carbolines with very high selectivity (up to 99%) over [PW]-OMS-2viatuning the reaction solvent and temperature. Under the present catalytic system, scalable synthesis of a β-carboline was achieved and the composite catalyst showed good stability and recyclability. This work not only clarified the structure-activity relationship of the catalyst, but also provided a practical pathway to achieve flexible, controllable synthesis of functional N-heterocycles.

Paragraph 0085-0089, (2021/03/23)
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a tetrahydro-beta-carboline compound, which comprises a step of preparing a tetrahydro-beta-caboline compound by reacting a tryptamine compound and an aldehyde in an aqueous solution using a reaction accelerator containing a divalent acid. Accordingly, the method for preparing a tetrahydro-beta-carboline compound according to the present invention is an eco-friendly synthetic method that does not use an explosive organic solvent, but uses water as a solvent and tartaric acid which is a natural product as a reaction accelerator, thereby causing no environmental pollution; and requiring no separation process in addition to a simple filtering process since final products are crystals. Therefore, the method for preparing a tetrahydro-beta-carboline compound can be carried out in an industrially very simple and suitable process.
