Palladium catalyzed dual C-H functionalization of indoles with cyclic diaryliodoniums, an approach to ring fused carbazole derivatives

Org Biomol Chem. 2014 Dec 28;12(48):9777-80. doi: 10.1039/c4ob02170c.

Abstract

Palladium(II)-catalyzed dual C-H functionalization of indoles with cyclic diaryliodoniums was successfully achieved, providing a concise method to synthesize dibenzocarbazoles. In a single operation, two C-C bonds and one ring were formed. The reaction was ligand free and tolerated air and moisture conditions.
