and 1,2,4-triarylpyrroles
synthesis from anilines and cyclohexanones or acetophenones under
transition-metal-free conditions is developed. 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.
