Abstract
Reaction of 1-hydroxycarbazole-2-carbaldehydes 1 with phenacyl bromide yielded 2-benzoyl-10H-furo[2,3-a]carbazoles 2, whereas the reaction with ethyl bromoacetate yielded 1-oxo-1,2-dihydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-jk]carbazole-4-carbaldehyde (4). The reaction of 1 with ethyl acetoacetate and also with diethyl malonate yielded the pyranocarbazoles 6 and 7, respectively. All the products were characterized by spectral and analytical means. Plausible mechanisms of product formation are proposed.
