| Abstract | |
Using palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular C-H activation/C-C cross coupling we synthesized three natural carbazoles (clauraila A, clausenal, and 6-methoxymurrayanine) from formyldiarylamines. The versatile strategy used here allowed us to obtain these alkaloids with fewer synthetic steps and in similar overall yields to methods previously reported. We present the first use of Pd(acac)(2) as a catalyst for this cyclodehydrogenation, which is a novelty that reveals mechanistic details about the reaction. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
