[2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of alkyne-cyanamides or
ynamide-nitriles with ynamides is described for the efficient synthesis
of amino-substituted α- and δ-carbolines. This novel methodology
is environmentally friendly and allows for highly regioselective access
to carboline derivatives in good to excellent yields with wide functional
group tolerance.
