]-fused carbazoles has been developed startingfrom suitably substituted 2/3-(bromomethyl)indoles and ar-enes under Lewisacid catalysis. The attractive feature ofthis protocol is the fact that a wide variety of π-conjugatedannulated carbazoles can be readily accessed by the appro-priate choice of arenes and heteroarenes. The annulationprotocol has been extended to (bromomethyl)benzene aswell as 2,
A ZnBr2-mediated arylation of N-protected 2/3-bromomethylindoles containing an electron-deficient malonylidene unit with arenes at 80 degrees C led to the formation of arylated products, which on Unprecedented 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by electrocyclization and subsequent aromatization with loss of diethylmalonate furnished the corresponding annulated carbazoles in reasonable yields.
