Abstract

The reactivity of iron-complexed 4b,8a-dihydrocarbazol-3-ones, prepared from tricarbonyl(cyclohexadienylium)-iron tetrafluoroborate with 4-methoxy-2-methyl- or 4-methoxy-2,3-dimethylaniline and subsequent chemoselective oxidation, has been investigated. Using the tricarbonyliron group as a protecting group for this ring system allows a novel access to the 4a,9a-dihydro-9H-carbazoles and the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective introduction of an allyl group at C4a of the carbazole nucleus via the Sakurai reaction.
