- A route to regioselectively functionalized carbazoles, dibenzofurans, and dibenzothiophenes through anionic cyclization of benzyne-tethered aryllithiums
-
The treatment of 2-fluorophenyl 2-iodophenylamines, ether, and thioether, easily prepared from commercially available products, with 3.3 equiv of t-BuLi and further reaction with selected electrophiles gives rise to functionalized carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene derivatives in a direct and regioselective manner. The process involves an anionic cyclization on a benzyne-tethered aryllithium intermediate.

- A CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF STERICALLY CROWDED 1,9-DISUBSTITUTED DIBENZOTHIOPHENES AND 3,3'-DISUBSTITUTED DIARYL SULFIDES
-
Thianthrene-5-oxide (1) reacted with 2.2 equivalents of lithium diisopropylamide to give 4,6-dilithiated 1 which was converted to 4,6-disubstituted thianthrene-5-oxides (3). 3 afforded sterically crowded 1,9-disubstituted dibenzothiophenes (4) in moderate yields on treatment with n-butyllithium or phenyllithium.
