An efficient synthesis of carbazoles from PtCl(2)-catalyzed cyclization of 1-(indol-2-yl)-2,3-allenols.
The PtCl(2)-catalyzed reaction of 1-(indol-2-yl)-2,3-allenols occurred smoothly to form carbazoles by connecting the 3-carbon atom of indole with the 4-carbon atom of the allenol moiety, referring to the carbon atom connected to the hydroxyl group.
