A solution of 9-[(cyclohexyl)methyl]-5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydrocarbazol-4(3H)-one (1.16 g, 3.42 mmol) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (853 mg, 3.76 mmol) in 20 mL of toluene was heated at 80° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was purified directly by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with CH2Cl2) to afford 259 mg (0.768 mmol; 22%) of 9-[(cyclohexyl)methyl]-4-hydroxy-5-carbomethoxy carbazole as a yellow oil which slowly solidified. MS (ES) m/e 338 (M+1), 336 (M−1).
