Procedure

100 g of carbazole, 117 g of t-butyl bromoacetate, and 67 g of t-butoxy potassium were dissolved in 1,000 g of dimethylformamide. The mixture was reacted overnight at room temperature. After the addition of 300 g of 5 wt % oxalic acid aqueous solution, the reaction mixture was extracted with 2,000 g of n-hexane. Precipitate obtained by crystallization in a mixed solvent of 500 g of dimethylformamide and 500 g of n-hexane was dried under vacuum to obtain 79 g of N-(t-butoxycarbonylmethyl)carbazole as a white solid. This compound is indicated as “other dye (D-2)”.
