Abstract:
Carbazoles are privileged nitrogen heterocycles that are present in a wide range of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. Due to their wide application, various synthetic strategies are available in the literature using substituted amines or indoles as a substrate. Thus, this review comprehensively highlights the (2015-2019) article that focuses on the synthesis of carbazoles derived from an indole-template through transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalization, metal-free cyclization, three-component reaction, and electrophilic iodocyclizations. The synthetic strategies described in this review provided diversely substituted carbazoles and few of them have profound pharmacological activity.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Hydrogel Synthesis
Hydrogels are a versatile class of cross-linked polymers produced through relatively simple procedures and with generally inexpensive materials. They can be formed from solution and involve a polymer backbone formed from monomer reagents, an initiator which makes the polymer reactive and a crosslinking species which binds the polymer chains...
