4-Bromo-9H-carbazole
1. Basic Information
Name: 4-Bromo-9H-carbazole
CAS No.: 3652-89-9
Molecular Formula: C12H8BrN
Molecular Weight: 246.10
Category: Brominated carbazole aromatic heterocyclic optoelectronic intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Off-white to light pale yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint characteristic heterocyclic odor
- Solubility: Soluble in THF, chloroform, toluene, dichloromethane; slightly soluble in hot methanol and ethanol; insoluble in water and aliphatic alkanes
- Melting Range: 126–130 °C
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Aqueous Property: Lipophilic neutral nitrogen-containing heterocycle, no dissolution in water
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Carbazole fused ring with bromine substitution at the 4-position, contains active N-H group on the five-membered nitrogen ring
- N-H Activity: The hydrogen atom on nitrogen can undergo alkylation, acylation and deprotonation reactions
- Aryl Bromide Reactivity: C-Br bond supports Suzuki, Buchwald, Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions for conjugated material synthesis
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 100 °C; slight oxidative discoloration after long-time heating above melting point
- Photostability: Sensitive to ultraviolet light; prolonged light exposure generates trace oxidation impurities and darkens the solid
- Compatibility: Compatible with most aprotic polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkali and heavy metal salts

Safety Warning
Irritant brominated aromatic heterocyclic powder. Dust causes severe irritation to eyes, respiratory tract and skin; long-term skin contact may induce allergic inflammation. All operations must be performed inside ventilated chemical fume hoods with dust respirators, chemical-resistant gloves and full-face safety goggles. Airtight dark storage is required to prevent photooxidation discoloration. Waste liquid needs organic solvent recovery and neutralization treatment; solid waste is classified as organic hazardous waste and must be disposed by licensed professional hazardous waste treatment facilities.
