Palladium (II)-catalyzed oxidative CÀC coupling reactions by twofold aryl CÀH bond activation have emerged as a valuable tool in organic synthesis.[1] One of the origins of this transformation is the palladium-mediated oxidative cyclization of diarylamines 1a and diaryl ethers 1b to carbazoles 2a and dibenzofurans 2b reported by kermark etal. in 1975 (Scheme 1).[2]Carbazole alkaloids are attractive targets in natural product chemistry because of their challenging structures and useful biological activities.[3] Therefore, the transformation described by kermark et al. has been applied to the total synthesis of carbazole alkaloids despite the fact that it was stoichiometric in palladium.[4] Encouraged by the wellknown Wacker process [5] and earlier work of Kibayashi et al.,[6] we described in 1994 the first example of a palla-ACHTUNGTRENNUNGdium (II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization to carbazoles by using copper (II) salts for the reoxidation of palladium (0) to pallaACHTUNGTRENNUNGdium (II).[7, 8] Subsequently, other reagents (tert-butyl hydroperoxide, oxygen, or air) have also proven to be useful for the reoxidation of the palladium (0) generated in this process.[9] In the course of our ongoing program directed towards the total synthesis of biologically active carbazole alkaloids,[3] we have optimized the palladium (II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization and described numerous applications to
