Recent Literature
An efficient route to carbazoles and dibenzofurans has
been developed. The reaction of
o-iodoanilines or o-iodophenols with silylaryl triflates in the
presence of CsF to afford N- or O-arylated products is followed by
a cyclization using a Pd catalyst to carbazoles and dibenzofurans in good to
excellent yields. Various functional groups are tolerated.
