F. Trecourt et al., SYNTHESIS OF 11H-PYRIDO[2,3-A]CARBAZOLES AND 6H-PYRIDO[3,2-B]CARBAZOLES FROM 8-METHOXY BROMOQUINOLINES, Tetrahedron, 51(43), 1995, pp. 11743-11750
Cross-coupling reaction via substituted 7-bromoquinolines 1, 8 and (2-
aminophenyl)boric acids afforded substituted 7-(2-aminophenyl)quinolin
es 3a-b, 10 from which synthesis of either 11H-pyrido[2,3-a]carbazoles
4a-b, 11 via C-8 cyclization or 6H-pyrido[3,2-b]carbazoles 6a-b, 13 v
ia C-6 cyclization could be achieved.
