Participants

Reaction Steps

24.3 g (100 mmol) of 9-phenylcarbazole was dissolved in 600 mL of glacial acetic acid, 22.5 g (100 mmol) of N-iodosuccinimide was slowly added thereto, and the mixture was then stirred overnight at a room temperature. The obtained precipitate was filtered, and the residue was washed with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate water solution, water, and methanol and then dried. 24.7 g (yield: 67%) of 3-iodo-9-phenylcarbazole which was white powder, was obtained.
