Abstract
The reaction of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ones with ethyl acetate yielded 2-acetyl-1-hydroxycarbazole and 2-acetyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one. These were used to prepare isoxazolo- and pyrazolo-fused carbazoles. Mechanisms for the formation of the end products are proposed.
