To this, POCl3 (700 mg, 4.56 mmol, 2.40 equiv, 99%) was added drop wise with stirring at 0° C. and allowed to stir at room temperature for 1 hour. To this mixture was added 9-benzyl-9H-carbazole (500 mg, 1.93 mmol, 1.00 equiv, 99%) in small portions at 45° C. over 5 minutes. Then, the temperature was raised to 95° C. in an oil bath and allowed to stir for 18 hours. The progress was monitored by TLC (EtOAc:PE=1:4). Upon completion, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature and quenched with water (20 mL). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for an additional 4 hours at room temperature. The solids were collected by filtration and dried to afford 9-benzyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde as green solid (200 mg, 36.1%). LCMS: [M+H]+: 286
