2-Bromocarbazole
1. Basic Information
Name: 2-Bromocarbazole
Alias: 2-Bromo-9H-carbazole
CAS No.: 3652-90-2
Molecular Formula: C12H8BrN
Molecular Weight: 246.10
Category: OLED optoelectronic intermediate, cross-coupling reaction substrate, organic semiconductor monomer, pharmaceutical carbazole building block
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Off-white to pale beige crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless aromatic heterocycle smell
- Solubility: Soluble in hot THF, DMF, DMSO, toluene, chloroform; slightly soluble in hot ethanol; insoluble in cold water, petroleum ether
- Melting Point: 224–228 °C
- Predicted Density: 1.56 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under sealed normal storage
- Aqueous property: Weakly alkaline nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycle, stable in neutral cold water
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Carbazole parent ring with single bromine substitution at C2 position, contains reactive N-H pyrrole group and aryl bromide active site
- Cross-coupling reactivity: Aryl bromide undergoes Suzuki, Buchwald, Sonogashira, Stille coupling to synthesize hole transport materials, TADF luminescent materials
- N-H modification: Nitrogen hydrogen can be alkylated, arylated to adjust molecular solubility and photoelectric performance
- Photostability: Slightly light-sensitive; long-time UV irradiation causes minor de-bromination and discoloration
- Thermal stability: Stable below 210 °C; above melting point heating decomposes to release irritant bromine-containing volatile fumes
- Compatibility: Compatible with high-boiling aromatic and polar aprotic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants and concentrated strong alkali under heating
