Abstract
Carbazoles possessing Tf2CHCH2 groups were obtained by the reaction of 1-(indol-2-yl)but-3-yn-1-ols with in situ-generated Tf2CQCH2 through vicinal difunctionalisation of the alkyne moiety, where the vinyl-type carbocation intermediate was selectively attacked by the indole moiety and not by the carbanion moiety
