Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbazole (8.0 g) was suspended in 100 ml of toluene, and 4 ml of acrylonitrile and subsequently 0.5 ml of Triton B were added to the suspension, whereby the suspension was solidified. Then, the reaction mixture was allowed to stand for one hour, and methanol was added thereto, followed by filtration to give 4.41 g (42%) of the product as a white solid.
