Procedure

A mixture of carbazole (300 mg, 1.81 mmol), 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl (846 mg, 2.71 mmol), copper (344 mg, 5.43 mmol), 18-crown-6 (187 mg, 0.71 mmol), potassium carbonate (750 mg, 5.43 mmol), and anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was degassed for 30 minutes. The mixture was heated to 155° C. for 66 hours under argon. After cooling, the mixture was poured into DCM (400 mL) and the subsequent mixture was filtered. The filtrate was loaded on silica gel. A flash column (silica, 10% DCM in hexane) and reprecipitation in DCM/hexanes yielded 304 mg (42% yield) of pure product; confirmed by HNMR.
