Abstract

Abstract A mild and efficient methodology for the synthesis of oxygenated carbazoles from diarylamines under non-acidic conditions was developed, based on a palladium-catalyzed, microwave-assisted double C–H bond activation process. This new protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of three naturally occurring carbazoles, namely murrayafoline A, 2-methoxy-3-methylcarbazole, and glycozolidine. The scope of the ...
