A general and efficient protocol has been developed for the N-alkylation of carbazoles with benzylic alcohols via scandium-catalyzed reaction. This transformation proceeds smoothly under an air atmosphere and features simple reaction conditions and wide substrate scope, which deliver a variety of N-alkylated carbazoles with up to 99% yields and broad functional group compatibilities.
