Acetyl chloride → 1-{4-[3-Acetyl-6-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-carbazol-9-yl]-phenyl}-ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1-(4-carbazol-9-yl-phenyl)-ethanone (5.71 g) in CH2Cl2 (150 mL) is added p-fluorobenzoyl chloride (3.17 g) and AlCl3 (5.41 g) at 0° C. After stirring overnight at room temperature, acetyl chloride (1.73 g) and AlCl3 (2.93 g) are further added at 0° C. and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is poured into ice-water, and the crude product is extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layer is washed with H2O and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give the residue, which is purified by washing with hot TBME. The structure of the product, which is obtained as a white solid, is confirmed by the 1H-NMR spectrum (CDCl3). δ[ppm]: 2.73 (s, 3H), 2.75 (s, 3H), 7.23 (t, 2H), 7.48 (d, 1H), 7.51 (d, 1H), 7.72 (d, 2H), 7.91 (dd, 2H), 7.99 (d, 1H), 8.14 (d, 1H), 8.28 (d, 2H), 8.66 (s, 1H), 8.80 (s, 1H).
