Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, and aims to provide a method for preparing carbazole from a phenolic compound. The method is as follows: dissolving the phenolic compound and an amination reagent in an organic solvent, adding an alkali, reacting for 2 to 4 hours at the temperature in a range of 50-80 DEG C; reacting for 2 to 16 hours at the temperature in a range of 100-170 DEG C, separating by column chromatography to obtain intermediate product diarylamine; then adding the diarylamine, palladium acetate, potassium carbonate and trimethylacetic acid into a reaction flask, reacting for 10 to 24 hours at the temperature in a range of 100-120 DEG C, and separating by the column chromatography to obtain the carbazole. The method uses a phenol as a raw material for preparation of the carbazole by a two step method, has less reaction steps, simple operation and other characteristics, and is an effective and convenient method for synthesis of the target molecule; the used raw material is cheap, convenient and easy to get, and the synthesis cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing carbazole from phenolic compounds. Background technique [0002] Carbazole is an important compound that is widely distributed in nature and exhibits important biological activities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anticancer physiological activities. Meanwhile, carbazole and its derivatives are also widely used in organic optoelectronic materials, such as polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Due to the importance of carbazole compounds, their synthetic methods have also received extensive attention. [0003] The traditional synthetic methods of carbazole mainly include Graebe-Ullmann reaction, Bucherer carbazole synthesis and Borsche-Drechsel cyclization reaction. The latest synthesis method is to start from nitroaromatic hydrocarbons and generate carbazole through catalytic ...
