44. General procedure: The suitable diarylamine 1 (1 equiv) and palladium acetate (2 equiv) were thoroughly mixed. After addition of three drops of DMF, the mixture was irradiated in a domestic microwave oven at 600 W for l min or 1.5 min, as specified in Table 2. After completion of the reaction, carbazoles 2 were purified through silica gel via flash column chromatography, eluting with a PE-EtOAc (8:2) mixture.
