Methanol → HCID 21107343, compound

Temperature

200 °C

To a solution of 3-bromo-9H-carbazole (4.00 g, 16.3 mmol, 1 equiv) in N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (40 mL) was added copper(I) cyanide (1.6012 g, 17.9 mmol, 1.1 equiv). The mixture was sealed and heated at 200° C. until TLC showed no starting material. The reaction solution was cooled and 60 mL of water was added. The off-white precipitate was filtered off and washed with EtOAc (3×20 mL). This filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), and then dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford red-brown oil. Methanol was added to the crude oil to afford 0.8251 g off-white precipitate as pure product. The mother liquid from the methanol precipitation was concentrated and purified by chromatography (25% EtOAc/Hex) to provide 0.28 g off-white solid. The combined yield was 35.5%.
