Abstract Various carbazoles were synthesized via [4+2] annulation of 3-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with indoles. A Bronsted acid ionic liquid, [BPy]HSO4, was proven to be effective catalyst for this reaction. The ionic liquid catalyst can be recycled three times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
