Popis: 2-Hydroxycarbazole ( 1 ) was chemoselectively N -alkylated with several alkyl halides 3 by generating the corresponding N , O -dianion using excess sodium hydride in a suitable solvent, under anhydrous conditions. The highest yields (87–96%) of 9-alkyl-2-hydroxycarbazoles 4 and the mildest reaction conditions were reached in THF containing DMF as an additive (2 mol equiv), but other solvents (DMSO, diglyme, DME) or solvent-additive systems (THF-diglyme, THF-DMSO, DME-DMF, diglyme-DMF) are effective.
