The microwave-promoted three-component reaction between o-nitrochalcones, primary amines and β-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of Ce(IV) ammonium nitrate constitutes the first example of a multicomponent carbazole synthesis. This reaction furnishes highly substituted and functionalized carbazole derivatives via a double annulation process that generates two C-C and two C-N bonds, with water as the only side product. Mechanistically, this transformation has some unusual features that include an intramolecular coupled hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process, the functionalization of a C-H group by direct attack onto a nitrogen function and a CAN-catalyzed reduction via hydride transfer from ethanol. The mechanisms of these reactions were studied with the aid of computational techniques.

The three-component reaction between alkyl- or arylamines, β-ketoesters and chalcones in refluxing ethanol containing a catalytic amount of Ce(IV) ammonium nitrate allowed the construction of a large library of highly substituted dihydro-m-terphenyl derivatives containing β-alkylamino- or β-arylamino ester moieties. This process generates three new bonds and one ring and proceeds in high atom economy, having two molecules of water as the only side product. Another domino process, in which the original MCR was telescoped with a subsequent aza Michael/retro-aza Michael sequence, allowed the one-pot preparation of a library of compounds with a N-unsubstituted β-aminoester fragment. Finally, to extend the structural diversity of these libraries, we also examined the aromatization of the central ring of our compounds in the presence of dichlorodicyanoquinone. This reaction sequence did not affect the integrity of a stereogenic center belonging to the amino component.
