Abstract
A method of preparing a number of 9-(α-alkoxyethyl)-carbazoles by adding carbazole to the corresponding simple vinyl ethers in the presence of acid catalysts is described. Data relating to the effects of various factors on the reaction are given. The synthetic method developed for 9-(α-alkylhydroxyethyl) carbazoles differs from that previously used in that reaction conditions are milder, yields of vinyl ethers lower, and yields of products higher.
