Abstract

A simple route for the synthesis of 3-methyl-3H-pyrido[2,3-c]carbazoles via Povarov reaction of 3-aminocarbazoles, and ethyl vinyl ether is described. This transformation, catalyzed by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) under mild reaction conditions, provides the pyrido[2,3-c]carbazoles in good yields with high regioselectivity.

Key words

Povarov reaction - annulations - heterocycles - Lewis acids - regioselectivity
