Abstract
Regioselective arylation of carbazoles is reported using dual palladium-photoredox catalysis. Controlled monoarylation and diarylation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical carbazoles were achieved under mild reaction conditions with a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Steric and electronic control the regioselectivity of the arylation of unsymmetrical carbazoles. Late-stage functionalization of a caprofen drug derivative and large-scale synthesis of mono- and di-arylated carbazoles were demonstrated to showcase the synthetic versatility of the method. Finally, we also showcased the synthesis of hyellazole analogues (a marine alkaloid) in a short route using our strategy.
