Abstract: | The reactions of 9-(2,3-epoxypropyl)carbazole and the glycidyl ether of 1,3-di(9-carbazolyl)-2-propanol with 2-phenylindole were studied. The addition of the epoxypropylcarbazole derivatives to 2-phenylindole in 2-butanone in the presence of alkali at room temperature occurs at the nitrogen atom, while the addition proceeds at C(3) upon heating these epoxy compounds with 2-phenylindole.Kaunas Technological University, Kaunas LT-3028, Lithuania.
