Dimethylformamide → HCID 23437420, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethylformamide (100 mL) is stirred and cooled in an ice bath while phosphorus oxychloride (35 mL, 58 g, 0.38 mol) is gradually added. 9-Pentylcarbazole (52 g, 0.22 mol) is introduced and the resulting mixture is heated on a steam bath with stirring for 1.5 hours. The entire mixture is cooled and added to water (200 mL) and the crude product is filtered off at the pump, washed with water (200 mL). The crude product is recrystallized to form 9-pentyl-3-carbazolecarboxaldehyde.
