Water → 6-Bromo-1-fluoro-9-(2-nitrophenyl)-9H-carbazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.7 g (22.2 mmol) of fluoro-9-(2-nitrophenyl)-9H-carbazole are initially duced in 150 ml of CH2Cl2. A solution of 3.9 g (22.3 mmol) of NBS in 100 ml of acetonitrile is subsequently added dropwise at −15° C. with exclusion of light, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 4 h. For work-up, 150 ml of water are added to the mixture, which is then extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4, and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The product is washed by stirring with hot hexane and filtered off with suction.
