Palladium‐Catalyzed Direct Alkynylation of Carbazoles with Alkynyl Bromides

Abstract

AbstractCarbazole derivatives are vital in medicinal and materials chemistry, yet accessing diverse substitutions remains challenging. Here, we introduce a regioselective approach for C1 and C8 alkynylation of carbazoles via palladium‐catalyzed C−H activation. This method provides a direct route to mono‐ and di‐alkynylated derivatives, addressing the scarcity of alkynylated carbazole‐based materials. Our study broadens the synthetic toolbox for carbazole functionalization, offering potential applications in optoelectronics, bio‐imaging, and beyond, while contributing to developing sustainable C−H activation methodologies.
