    Abstract

    The title natural products 2-7 have been prepared by reductive cyclization of the relevant 2-arylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (e.g. 20) to the corresponding tetrahydrocarbazole and dehydrogenation (aromatization) of this to give the target carbazole (e.g. 4). Compounds such as 20 were prepared using a palladium-catalyzed Ullmann cross-coupling reaction between the appropriate 2-iodocyclohex-2-en-1-one and o-halonitrobenzene.
