“…71,72 Several derivatives of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one (77), a synthetic precursor of carbazole have recently garnered a wide interest owing to their potential as fluorophores. [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84] Indumathi et al used derivatives of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one (77), malononitrile and aromatic/heteroaromatic aldehyde in a DABCO catalyzed multicomponent reaction to produce benzo[a]carbazoles (79) (Scheme 27). 71 Table 17 portrays the variation of yield of benzo[a]carbazoles using a DABCO catalyzed multicomponent reaction with change in derivatives of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one and aromatic aldehyde.…”
