Published: June 2009

The synthesis of a series of substituted 9H-carbazoles by the photostimulated S(RN)1 substitution reaction with diarylamines as starting substrate was performed. The diarylamines were obtained by two approaches, the Pd-catalyzed reactions (Buchwald-Hartwig) or Cu-catalyzed reactions of 2-haloanilines with aryl halides, or 2-bromoiodobenzene with anilines, with moderate to very good isolated yields (45-89%). Through an intramolecular C-C bond formation of diarylamines by the S(RN)1 mechanism, carbazoles were achieved. These reactions proceeded synthetically in very good to excellent yields (81-99%) in liquid ammonia and DMSO. The reaction of N-(2-bromophenyl)-2-phenylbenzenamine gave 1-phenyl-9H-carbazole (38%) and the isomer 9H-tribenz[b,d,f]azepine (58%). By using this methodology, 9H-carbazoles, substituted 9H-carbazoles, benzocarbazoles, and even 3,3'-bi(9H-carbazole) were obtained by a double S(RN)1 reaction with benzidine.

An efficient and simple protocol for the preparation of a series of 9H-carbazoles by photostimulated SRN1 substitution reactions is presented. Substituted 9H-carbazoles were synthesized in low to excellent yields (up to 96%) through an intramolecular C–N bond formation of 2′-halo[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-amines by the photoinitiated SRN1 mechanism under mild and “transition-metal-free” conditions. The biphenylamines used as substrates were obtained with isolated yields ranging from 21% to 84% by two approaches: (A) the cross-coupling Suzuki–Miyaura reaction and (B) the radical arylation of anilines.
