Potassium Carbonate → 7-(9H-carbazol-2-yloxy)-heptanoic acid benzyloxyamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to that of example 1 (b), 7-bromo-heptanoic acid benzyloxy-amide (1.8 g, 5.7 mmol) was reacted with 2-hydroxycarbazole (1.05 g, 5.7 mmol) in the presence of potassium carbonate (1.2 g, 8.6 mmol) in dimethyl formamide to give 7-(9H-carbazol-2-yloxy)-heptanoic acid benzyloxyamide as an almost colorless wax (yield 0.53 g, 22%; purified by column chromatography using silica gel and ethyl acetate: heptane 4:6 to 6:4 as an eluent). MS (M−H+)=415.
