Abstract

The reaction of 1H-indole and various aldehydes in the presence of molecular iodine as a catalyst in refluxing acetonitrile affords 6,12-disubstituted 5,7-dihydroindolo[2,3-b]carbazoles in good to excellent yields.

Key words

indolo[2,3-b]carbazole - indole - aldehyde - molecular iodine - antitumor
