An intermolecular C–H oxidizing strategy to access highly fused carbazole skeletons from simple naphthylamines

摘要: Highly π-extended hetero-cyclic/aromatic skeletons are of great importance as they can be utilized in many organic material based technologies. Therefore, developing efficient, pre-activation-free, synthetic procedures for the rapid build-up these complex structures remains a high priority objective. The herein presented approach delivers highly fused carbazole from simple naphthylamine derivatives.
