• regard, Meesala et al. [30] recently described a short and facile route to the synthesis of new 3,6-bis(pyrazol-4-yl)carbazoles from 3,6-diacetylcarbazoles through a Vilsmeier reaction. Later, Chaitanya et al. [31] reported a new synthesis of 3-(3-nitrochromenyl)carbazoles, 3,6-bis(3-nitrochromenyl

• )carbazoles under solvent-free conditions by the reaction of β-nitrovinylcarbazole or bis(β-nitrovinyl)carbazole with salicylaldehydes. In light of these findings, and in view of the prominent role structural diversity plays in medicinal and combinatorial chemistry, we felt that there was a real need for the
