2-Thiophenecarbonyl chloride → Anthrimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.2 g of 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthrimide are heated in 75 ml of nitrobenzene to 145°-150° C. 6.5 g of thiophene-2-carboxylic acid chloride are then added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes. The temperature of the suspension is increased to 170°-175° C. over a period of 2 hours and the suspension is stirred for 2 hours at that temperature. After cooling, the product is filtered off and washed with nitrobenzene and ethanol. 12.5 g of the anthrimide of the formula (2) are obtained. The anthrimide is converted into the carbazole compound of the formula (1) in accordance with Example 1, paragraph 2.
