Oxidative reactions of 6-pentyl indolo[3,2-b]carbazole: formation of novel C-C and C-N coupled dimers.
The oxidative coupling reactions of 6-pentyl-5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazole have been studied and as a result, a number of novel dimers of the indolo[3,2-b]carbazole derivative have been prepared, forming C-C coupled compound when treated with FeCl(3) x 6H(2)O or C-N coupled compounds and when oxidized with air or Pd(OAc)(2), respectively.
