“…1,[10][11][12] Fischer indolization with appropriate phenyl hydrazones, 13 intramolecular cyclization of indole, [14][15][16][17] and allene-mediated electrocyclic reaction involving the indole 2,3-bond 18 are well known. Recently, [2+2+2] cycloaddition, 19 Diels-Alder reaction between an imine quinone and cyclic diene, 20 Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, 21 Lewis acid promoted intramolecular amination and oxylation of biaryl triazenes, 22 ring-closing metathesis, 23 benzannulation, 24 and transition-metal-catalyzed C-C or C-N bond-forming reactions 25 have also been examined. Knölker et al have reported numerous iron-mediated syntheses 26 of carbazole alkaloids over the past two decades.…”
