Abstract

A copper-catalyzed iodination of carbazoles has been developed. Barluenga's reagent IPy2BF4 is used to generate a soft electrophilic halonium species for the iodination of the carbazoles. This report represents the first concept of copper-catalyst-promoted electrophilic halogenation of carbazoles. We demonstrated numerous applications of this methodology synthesizing diverse carbazole derivatives, i.e., both electron-rich and electron-deficient systems.
