Synthesis of alkylcarbazole aminoderivatives
Abstract
New alkylcarbazole aminoderivatives were prepared with various alkyl chain lengths. Syntheses were evaluated and procedures simplified. Producing alkylcarbazole aminoderivatives is a two-step process, where—in the first step—alkycarbazol is obtained in the alkyl chain substitution reaction and the appropriate aminoderivative of alkylcarbazole is synthesized in direct amination of aromatic compounds as the second step. The products were verified with nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, and general thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Alkylcarbazole aminoderivatives are amphiphilic molecules, therefore expanding the list of known surfactants, compatibilizing agents, and other surface modifiers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
