Procedure

24.3 g (100 mmol) of 9-phenylcarbazole was dissolved in 600 mL, of a glacial acetic acid, 17.8 g (100 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide was gradually added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for approximately 20 hours at a room temperature. This glacial acetic acid solution was dropped into 1 L of ice water while stirring. The precipitated white solid was washed with water three times. This solid was dissolved in 150 mL of diethyl ether and the solution was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water. An organic layer thereof was dried with magnesium sulfate. The organic layer was filtered, and the obtained filtrate was concentrated, where about approximately 50 mL of methanol was added and dissolved uniformly. The white solid was precipitated by leaving this solution at rest. This solid was recovered and dried, thereby obtaining 28.4 g (yield: 88%) of 3-bromo-9-phenylcarbazole as a white powder.
