The
electron-donating capabilities of carbazoles have stimulated
interest in their use as photoinduced single-electron reductants.
Due to the modularity of the carbazole, a further broadening and understanding
of their reactivity could be achieved by manipulating the structure.
Herein, eight carbazole derivatives were synthesized, characterized,
and assessed as single-electron photoreductants in the hydrodehalogenation
of aryl halides and the arylation of N-methylpyrrole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
