Abstract
An efficient Cu-catalyzed synthesis of carbazole derivatives is reported, which proceeds by double C–N coupling reactions of 2,2′-dibromobiphenyl and amines in the presence of air. The reaction is robust, proceeds in high yields, and tolerates a series of amines including neutral, electron-rich, electron-deficient aromatic amines and aliphatic amines.
