title: Dibenzo[a,c]carbazoles from 2-(2-bromoaryl)-3-arylindoles via a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H functionalization/C-C bond formation process.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed cyclization of 2-(2-bromoaryl)-3-arylindoles provides a new versatile approach to dibenzo[a,c]carbazoles. The reaction tolerates a variety of useful substituents including chloro, nitro, ether, cyano, keto, and ester groups.
