Iridium-Catalyzed Vinylation of Carbazole Derivatives with Vinyl Acetate

Abstract

We report a practical method for the synthesis of vinylcarbazoles via iridium-catalyzed vinylation of carbazoles with vinyl acetate as the vinyl source. This simple and efficient reaction using an iridium catalyst provides a convenient method for producing monomers for the synthesis of poly(N-vinylcarbazole)s, which are used in electroluminescent devices.

Key words

vinylation - N-vinylcarbazole - iridium catalyst - vinyl acetate - carbazole
