Application

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrocarbazole can be used as a starting material to prepare:
  • Spiro[cyclopentane-1,2′-indolin-3′-one] by photooxygenation.
  • 9-Acyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles by N-acylation reactions.
  • Carbazole via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reaction.

A hydrogen bonding-mediated double Michael addition-aromatization cascade of 2-propenylindoles and nitroolefins has been disclosed. The methodology allows an efficient synthesis of diverse and structurally complex tetrahydrocarbazoles in good to excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities.

The carbazole moiety is a component of many important pharmaceuticals including anticancer and anti-HIV agents and is commonly utilized in the production of modern polymeric materials with novel photophysical and electronic properties. Simple carbazoles are generally produced via the aromatization

Comparison of several amine-substituted and methoxy-substituted analogs of N1-(4-aminobenzene)sulfonylindole suggests that these substituents might contribute to the 5-HT6 serotonin receptor affinity of these agents via their electronic effect on the indolic nucleus. Their 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole counterparts behave differently.

The SAR of a new series of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives is described: the appropriate decoration of this template led to the identification of a new class of NPY-1 antagonists showing good in vitro potency and a promising in vivo pharmacokinetic profile
