The oxidation of some tetrahydro‐β‐carboline derivatives with selenium dioxide led to the formation of 1,4‐dihydro or fully aromatic β‐carbolines, depending on the nature and the number of substituents at 1 position. The oxidation of 2‐acetyl derivatives followed a different course and the products originated by the attack at C‐1 of the ring C of the tetrahydro‐β‐carboline were obtained.
