Bromination by N-bromosuccinimide of the β-carboline alkaloid 8-acetylharmine in CH2Cl2 smoothly formed 8-acetyl-6-bromoharmine. Cross coupling of 8-acetyl-6-bromoharmine with arylboronic acids in aqueous toluene in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 as a catalyst, Na2CO3 as a base, and ammonium salt Bu4N+Br- as an additive synthesized the corresponding 6-aryl-8-acetylharmine derivatives. The new aryl-substituted 8-acetylharmine derivatives possessed moderate cytotoxicity and antidepressant activity in the Porsolt test.
