Abstract

Herein, we explored the oxidative coupling reactions of carbazole-based polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using traditional Scholl reactions and electrochemical oxidation. Our findings indicate that the oxidation predominantly occurs at the carbazole functional group. The underlying reaction mechanisms were also clarified through theoretical investigations, highlighting that the primary oxidation pathway involves the 3,6-positions of the carbazole moiety, which is attributable to its high electron density.
