Participants

Reaction Steps

To hydroxylammonium chloride (0.39 g; 5.57 mmol) and sodium acetate (0.54 g; 6.57 mmol) dissolved in 5 ml of water is added 1-(6-Benzoyl-9-ethyl-9.H.-carbazol-3-yl)-octan-1-one (2.14 g; 5.03 mol) in 15 ml of ethanol. After refluxing for 7 h, H2O is added to the reaction mixture, the resulting white solid is filtered off, washed with water and dissolved in tetrahydrofurane (THF). After drying this THF solution over anhydrous MgSO4, condensation under reduced pressure affords 2.16 g of a pale yellow solid (97%).
