Step 2: Preparation of 2,3-Epoxypropoxy carbazole; 4-Hydroxy carbazole (60g) obtained in step 1 was charged into a reactor containing water (90ml). Epichlorohydrin (64.2g) and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (6.3g) were then charged into the reactor under stirring. 50% Sodium hydroxide solution (78g) was added slowly in 2 - 3 hours into the reaction mass at about 30C. After completion of reaction, ethyl acetate (315ml) and potable water (315ml) were charged into the reaction mass. The lower aqueous layer was separated and discarded. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with potable water to obtain neutral pH and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The ethyl acetate is distilled out under vacuum below 55C to about 100ml. The reaction mass was chilled to 0- 5C and filtered and dried at 50-60C to give the title compound (50g) (64%). |
