A tandem reduction-oxidation protocol for the conversion of 1-keto-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles to carbazoles via tosylhydrazones through microwave assistance: Efficient synthesis of glycozoline, clausenalene, glycozolicine, and deoxycarbazomycin B and the total synthesis of murrayafoline A

A novel and efficient methodology for the synthesis of carbazoles from 1-keto-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles via the corresponding tosylsulfonhydrazones by a one-pot tandem reduction-oxidation protocol using a combination of NaBH4 and Pd-C on MgSO4·7H2O, a solid support, under microwave is developed. The reaction is successfully extended toward the synthesis of several naturally occurring carbazole alkaloids, namely 3-methylcarbazole, glycozoline, clausenalene, glycozolicine, murrayafoline A, and deoxycarbazomycin B, a carbazole derivative that is known to have a promising antimicrobial activity.
