C. Lion et al., ADDITION OF SOME DIENOPHILES TO N-SUBSTIT UTED 2-(3-INDOLYL)-1,4-NAPHTOQUINONES - SYNTHESIS OF NEW CARBAZOLES, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 104(9), 1995, pp. 557-561
Addition of an N-substituted indole without any substitution in the 2
and 3 positions to 1,4-naphtoquinone leads to the expected, 2-(3-indol
yl)-1,4-naphtoquinone. The latter reacts with some dienophiles via a D
iels - Alder reaction and gives new N-substituted naphto-[2,3-C]-carba
zole-5-13-quinones.
