Resolution of ( RS )‐tetrindole ( 3 ) and enantioselective reductions of the imine 7 yielded ( S )‐(+)‐( 4 ) and ( R )‐(−)‐tetrindole ( 5 ). The absolute stereochemistry of 4 was established by X‐ray analysis of the corresponding Mosher amide 6 . From in vitro as well as in vivo data (MAO‐inhibiton, levels of monoamines and their respective metabolites in rat brain), 4 was identified as the eutomer.
