A consecutive iron-mediated C-C and C-N bond formation has been utilized for a short and high overall yield synthesis of the free radical scavenger carazostatin. The key steps are electrophilic aromatic substitution of an appropriately substituted arylamine by the iron-coordinated cyclohexadienylium cation, iron-mediated quinone imine cyclization, and demetalation to the 3-hydroxycarbazole. © 1995 Georg Thieme Verlag.
