Isoamyl Nitrite → 1-[11-(2-Ethylhexyl)-5-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-11H-benzo[a]carbazol-8-yl]-2-phenyl ethane-1,2-dione 2-oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 1-[11-(2-Ethylhexyl)-5-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-11H-benzo[a]carbazol-8-yl]-2-phenyl ethanone (1.20 g, 2.03 mmol) and isoamyl nitrite (0.50 g, 4.26 mmol) in THF (6 ml) is bubbled with HCl gas for 1 minute. After stirring at room temperature for 4 hours, the reaction mixture is poured into ice-water. The crude product is extracted with CH2Cl2, and washed with water and brine. After drying over MgSO4 and concentration, the crude is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a mixed solvent of n-hexane and CH2Cl2 (1:1) to obtain an off-white resin (0.69 g, 50%). The structure is confirmed by 1H-NMR spectrum (CDCl3) δ [ppm]: 0.79-0.90 (m), 1.19-1.45 (m), 2.19 (s), 2.28 (m), 2.42 (s), 4.75 (m), 6.97 (s), 7.35-7.41 (m), 7.57 (d), 7.63 (d), 7.70-7.79 (m), 7.98 (d), 8.35 (s), 8.63 (d), 8.72 (s), 9.54 (d).
