A Visible-Light-Mediated Synthesis of Carbazoles

by Augusto C. Hernandez-Perez, Prof. Dr. Shawn K. Collins*


The photosynthetic preparation of N-aryl- and N-alkyl-bearing carbazoles utilizes continuous flow, visible light, and an in situ formed Cu-based sensitizer (see picture). The method is mild and efficient, and allows the straightforward synthesis of a variety of carbazoles with different substituents, heterocycles, and complex carbon architectures.
