CÀH functionalization is the most sustainable and straightforward method to construct complicated structures and has received significant attention in the past several decades.[1] Through direct CÀH functionalization, CÀC and CÀX bonds (X= B, N, O, etc.) could be directly constructed by methods utilizing ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, and other metal complexes as catalysts.[2] Compared with the activation of sp3 CÀH bonds, many efforts have been made to activate sp2 CÀH bonds, especially aromatic ones, since unsaturated rings form the main scaffold in many natural products, synthetic drugs, and materials.[3] Among various methods to activate CÀH bonds of aromatic rings, PdII-catalyzed electrophilic substitution is one of the most important.[4] Despite previous research, efficient methods to construct complicated scaffolds are still rare.[5] We present herein a new pathway to approach highly selective cross-coupling of arenes controlled by directing groups. This effective method is applied to prepare fully functionalized carbazoles through PdII-catalyzed multiple CÀH functionalization in the absence of halides and organometallic reagents.General methods to construct biaryls typically use transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions in which the arenes are functionalized with boron (or other metals) and halides.[6] Recent efforts have made this coupling more efficient by avoiding the use of one of the coupling partners through direct activation of aromatic CÀH bonds.[7] Homocoupling of arenes
