Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 1 L conical flask, 24 g (100 mmol) of 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole, 18 g (100 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide, 450 mL of toluene, and 200 mL of ethyl acetate were stirred at room temperature for 45 hours. This suspension was washed with water, and magnesium sulfate was added thereto, so that moisture was removed. This suspension was filtered, and the obtained filtrate was concentrated and dried.
