Published: November 2008

A novel and efficient procedure for the synthesis of benzo[c]carbazoles has been achieved in moderate to high yields by the one-pot photochemical annulations of 2-chloroindole-3-carbaldehydes by styrenes via photodechlorination-initiated coupling of 2-chloroindole-3-carbaldehydes with styrenes, electrocyclic reactions and deformylative aromatization in the presence of pyridine.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound is composed of one host mol-ecule, -4-(1 ,5 -3-aza-1,5(3,9)-dicarbazola-cyclo-octa-phane-3-yl)benzo-nitrile and one di-chloro-methane solvate mol-ecule, CHN·CHCl. The host mol-ecule possesses a planar chirality but crystallizes as a racemate in the space group 2/. It adopts an -configuration, in which two carbazole rings are partially overlapped with a parallel orientation.

The synthesis of 5-aryl- or 5,6-diaryl-11-benzo[]carbazoles has been achieved from 3-styryl indoles through catalyst-free photoinitiated dehydrogenative cyclization transformation, providing a range of structurally diverse products in excellent yields under mild conditions. The protocol is also applicable to furan and thiophene samples. This Mallory-type reaction takes place in an argon atmosphere without external oxidants.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Carbazole Isomer Phosphors.

The 1H-benzo[f]indole (Bd[f]), a carbazole (Cz) isomer is first reported as the source of Cz-based phosphors in 2020. In this work, the novel carbazole isomers, 1H-benzo[g]indole (Bd[g]) based derivatives, are synthesized by a one-step solvent-free mechanical ball milling reaction, establishing a facile, efficient, and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of new Cz isomer phosphorescent derivatives with high yields compared to previously reported multi-step solvent-based thermochemical synthesis routes of Bd[f] derivatives with low yields. Six Bd[g] derivatives with different substituents, namely OCH-Bd, In-Bd, Bn-Bd, F-Bd, Cl-Bd, and Br-Bd, are synthesized, which exhibit distinctly different single-crystal structures and phosphorescent properties.

We report herein a series of macrocycles in which the densely π-stacked charge-transfer (CT) donor/acceptor with naphthalenediimides (NDIs) or perylene diimide (PDI) as acceptor moiety pairing various donor moieties are locked by covalent bond. The X-ray crystallography of C8BDT-NDI reveals a short intramolecular π-stacking distance around 3.4 Å and the existence of intermolecular donor/acceptor π-stacking (3.

Herein, we describe a novel reaction between C-2-substituted indoles and 2-nitroacetophenones leading to a variety of indole-containing heterocyclic scaffolds. At 60 °C in AcOH with HSO as catalyst, C-2 aryl indoles give 3-(2-nitrovinyl)-indoles with high or geometric selectivity depending on the type of substrate utilized. These compounds undergo an electrocyclization process in a sealed vial in a microwave apparatus in DMF at 250 °C to give benzo[]carbazoles and naphtho[2,1-]carbazoles depending on whether the C-2 aromatic moiety is phenyl or naphthyl.
