We present an efficient method for the selective bromination of N-alkylcarbazoles using N- bromosuccinimide (NBS) in THF. Four brominated N-alkylcarbazoles including 3-bromo-, 3, 6-dibromo-, 1, 3, 6-tribromo-and 1, 3, 6, 8-tetrabromo-carbazoles were prepared and identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Subsequent cross-coupling of these carbazoles with benzo [b] thien-2-ylboronic acid gave the corresponding benzo [b] thien-2-yl ...
