Abstract
Starting with 2,7‐dimethoxycarbazole, a N‐alkyl‐hexafunctionalized carbazole derivative has been synthesized in only three steps with a good overall yield. N‐Octyl‐1,8‐bistrimethylsilyl‐3,6‐dibromo‐2,7‐dimethoxycarbazole is a new synthon that could be useful for the synthesis of conjugated polymers or bioactive compounds.
