Reaction Steps

N-2-Ethylhexylcarbazole was prepared from carbazole (85.09 g, 0.51 mol), 2-ethylhexylbromide (100 g, 0.52 mol, commercially available from Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.), benzyltriethyl ammonium chloride (5.78 g, 0.025 mol), toluene (400 ml), and 50% aqueous NaOH solution (200 g) according to the procedure described for N-heptylcarbazole. The product was obtained as 115 g of brownish liquid (81% yield).
