Reactive 4a-alkyl-4aH-carbazoles by catalytic dearomatisation, and their unusual dimerisation and dealkylation reactions.
Despite their intrinsic instability, 4a-alkyl-4aH-carbazoles can be generated by a catalytic dearomatisation process; their reactivity is demonstrated by facile dealkylation and highly unusual cyclodimerisation processes.
