Reaktionsschritte

A suspension of 5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydro-9H-carbazol-4(3H)-one (527.0 mg, 2.17 mM), 3-chlorobenzyl bromide (802.2 mg, 3.90 mM), a catalytic amount of sodium iodide (ca. 1 mg), and potassium carbonate (500.0 mg, 3.62 mM) was stirred at room temperature for 150 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed five times with H2O, once with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with gradient methylene chloride/ethyl acetate) to afford 537.1 mg (67%) of the 9-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydrocarbazol-4(3H)-one as a yellow foam. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.5-7.2 (m, 5H), 7.1 (s, 1H), 6.85 (m, 1H), 5.35 (s, 2H), 4.05 (s, 3H), 2.9 (t, 2H, J=6 Hz), 2.65 (t, 2H, J=6 Hz), and 2.3 (m, 2H). IR (CHCl3, cm−1) 3050, 2950, 1725, 1654, 1464, 1444, 1432, 1288 and 1120. MS (ES) m/e 366, 368, 370.
