Abstract

We report a new Pd (II)-catalyzed C− H bond amination reaction to form carbazoles, an important motif that is prevalent in a range of systems. The catalytic amination process operates under extremely mild conditions and produces carbazole products in good to excellent yields. Carbazoles possessing complex molecular architecture can also be formed using this reaction, highlighting its potential in natural product synthesis applications. ...
