The invention relates to a method for electrochemical synthesis of a
carbazole compound. The method comprises the following steps: taking an N-substituted acylamino
biphenyl derivative as a substrate,adding the substrate and an
electrolyte into an
organic solvent, inserting an
electrode, stirring, carrying out electrolytic reaction, stirring in
nitrogen at
room temperature by taking a carbon rodas an
anode and a
platinum sheet
electrode as a
cathode, carrying out constant-current reaction, removing the
solvent by using a
rotary evaporator after the reaction is finished, and carrying out rapid
silica gel column chromatography purification on residues to obtain a product. According to the method, the reaction is electrically promoted, expensive
metal catalysts and other oxidizing agents are not needed, the reaction can be carried out mildly at the
room temperature, the selectivity is good, the yield is high, the whole process is simple and easy to implement, and the concept of
green chemistry is met. According to the method, no extra oxidant is needed, the method is simple and efficient, the substrate is wide in applicability, and the yield of compounds with different
substituent effect groups can be very high. The preparation method is simple, economical and environment-friendly, and has a certain industrial prospect.
