Triethyl Phosphate → 2-bromo-9-ethyl-9H-carbazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

17.93 g (64.47 mmol) of 4′-bromo-2-nitrobiphenyl and 56.09 mL (322.37 mmol) of triethyl phosphate were put into a round bottom flask under nitrogen, and then refluxed and agitated for 5 hours. After the reaction was finished, the solvent was removed by distillation, and the column was used at a ratio of hexane:MC=3:2 (v/v) to obtain 7.2 g of 2-bromo-9H-carbazole and 4.26 g of 2-bromo-9-ethyl-9H-carbazole.
