Abstract

Abstract A variety of functionalized N-alkylated carbazolones were prepared via N-alkylation of 3-(arylamino) cyclohex-2-enones followed by an intramolecular oxidative coupling mediated by Pd (OAc) 2 under an oxygen atmosphere. This approach adopts an inverted sequence, consisting of the conventional annulation and subsequent N-alkylation.
