Abstract A Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling, followed by triphenylphosphine mediated Cadogan reductive cyclization sequence provided efficient access to a series of carbazole alkaloids. In the present work, this approach was applied to the total synthesis of mukonine, clauszoline K, koenoline, murrayanine, murrayafoline A, mukoeic acid, glycoborine, glycozolicine, mukolidine, mukoline, glycozoline, 3-methoxy-9H-carbazole-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester, (3-methoxy-9H-carbazol-1-yl)-methanol, 3-methoxy-9H-carbazole-1-carbaldehyde, 3-methoxy-9H-carbazole-1-carboxylic acid, 2-methyl-9H-carbazole and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) carprofen and its derivatives.
