Methanol → 9-(1-Propen-1-yl)-9H-carbazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a vial, 0.5 g of trans-9-(1-propenyl)carbazole and 0.013 g of IOC10 (2 mole % based on 9-(1-propenyl)carbazole) were dissolved in 1 mL of dichloromethane. The solution was exposed to UV light using a GE H3T-7 200 W medium pressure mercury arc lamp for 3 minutes and then poured into methanol. After filtering and drying the resulting precipitated oligomer in a vacuum oven, a yield of 0.25 g (50%) was obtained.
