Abstract

Alkylation of carbazole with [(chloromethyl) thio] benzene gave the key intermediate N- [(phenylthio)-methyllcarbazole (2). Treatment of 2 with n-butyllithium at low temperature gave an a-lithio derivative 3, which reacted with a variety of electrophiles, affording N- [(phenylthio) alkyl] carbazoles 4a-g. Removal of the activating phenylthio group in 4a-g was achieved by Raney nickel desulfurization. Three successful routes to the novel N-(E)- ...
