A variety of disubstituted 9-arylcarbazoles were synthesized in moderate to good yields promoted by KI/I2 using anilines as the nitrogen and aryl source. Meanwhile, a variety of 1,2,4-triarylpyrroles were also selectively synthesized from anilines and acetophenones in the presence of KI alone. %I ACS Publications
