3,6-Dibromo-9-(4-chlorobenzyl)-9H-carbazole

Abstract

The title compound, C19H12Br2ClN, was synthesized by N-alkylation of 1-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)benzene with 3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazole. The carbazole ring system is essentially planar (mean deviation of 0.028 Å) and makes a dihedral angle of 74.6 (3)° with the plane of the benzene ring.
