Reaction Steps

About 11.1 grams (0.05 moles) N-ethyl carbazole-3-carboxaldehyde, about 3.1 grams (0.05 moles) malononitrile, about 1 milliliter glacial acetic acid, about 0.35 grams ammonium acetate and about 40 milliliters benzene are heated to boiling under reflux conditions for about 30 minutes. The liquid portion of this mixture is separated from the brown colored solution by rotary evaporation, the solid residues twice recrystallized with glacial acetic acid washed with ethanol and dried in a vacuum oven. Yield: 7.0 grams of bright yellow needle like crystals m.p. 164°-165° C.
