N-arylcarbazole structures are important because of their prevalence in natural products and functional OLED materials. C-H amination of arenes has been widely recognized as the most efficient approach to access these structures. Conventional strategies involving transition-metal catalysts suffer from confined substrate generality and the requirement of exogenous oxidants. Organocatalytic enantioselective C-N chiral axis construction remains elusive. Presented here is the first organocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of novel axially chiral N-arylcarbazole frameworks by the assembly of azonaphthalenes and carbazoles. This reaction accommodates broad substrate scope and gives atropisomeric N-arylcarbazoles in good yields with excellent enantiocontrol. This approach not only offers an alternative to metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling, but also brings about opportunities for the exploitation of structurally diverse N-aryl atropisomers and OLED materials.
