Reaction Steps

Accordingly, 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-3-methylene-4H-carbazol-4-one was synthesized from 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-4H-carbazol-4-one using a formaldehyde reagent (paraformaldehyde), a mineral acid (HCl), and an ammonium salt (ammonium chloride) in an aprotic solvent (DMF). The ammonium salt appears to have had a positive impact on the rate of the reaction.
