Abstract
2-Cyano-N-(tetrahydrocarbazole)acetamide (1) was utilized for the synthesis of several new arylazocarbazole derivatives (2a–e). Compound (1) reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate to yield the corresponding non-isolable intermediate (3), which gave, upon treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid, thiocarbamoyl derivative (4). Compound (3) reacted with chloroacetone, chloroacetic acid, chloroacetyl chloride, ethyl bromoacetate, and phenacyl bromide to afford thiazolone derivatives (6), (8), and (10), respectively. Compound (1) was heated in the presence of pyridine and/or hydrazine hydrate and/or isatine to give the corresponding tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives (13), (14), and (18), respectively.
