Iodobenzene → 2-Bromo-9-phenyl-9H-carbazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

30.51 g (149.56 mmol) of iodobenzene, 18.32 g (74.78 mmol) of 2-bromo-9H-carbazole, 14.37 g (149.56 mmol) of sodium t-butoxide, and 1.81 ml (7.48 mmol) of tritertbutylphosphine were dissolved in 300 ml of toluene, and 0.68 g (0.75 mmol) of Pd2(dba)3 was added thereto, and refluxed and agitated for 12 hours. After the reaction was finished, extraction was performed by dichloromethane, filtering was performed by silica gel, and the column was used at a ratio of hexane:MC=9:1 (v/v) to obtain 8.99 g of 2-bromo-9-phenylcarbazole (yield 37%).
