Amino‐Directed Rh^III‐Catalyzed CH Activation Leading to One‐Pot Synthesis of NH Carbazoles

Abstract

One-pot synthesis: An efficient amino-directed one-pot synthesis of N-H carbazoles from unprotected 2-aminobiaryl compounds is reported. The free amino unit acts as both a directing group for ortho C-H activation and a functional group for construction of an N-heterocyclic ring (see scheme).
