Reaction Steps

Carbazole (7.3 g, 43.7 mmol), 3-bromoiodobenzene (25 g, 87.3 mmol) and sodium t-buthoxide (8.4 g, 87.3 mmol) is suspended in 150 mL of dry xylene under nitrogen atmosphere. Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (200 mg) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (400 mg) are added as one portion and the reaction is heated to reflux and stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for 24 h. After cooling the xylene is evaporated and the residue is subjected to column chromatography on silica gel, providing 3-bromophenyl carbazole (9.5 g, yellow solidified oil).
