The central structural element of the title compound, C24H29NO2, is a carbazole unit substituted with two acetyl residues and an octyl chain. The acetyl residues are nearly coplanar [dihedral angles = 5.37 (14) and 1.0 (3)°] with the carbazole unit which is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.025 Å). The octyl chain adopts an all-trans conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Aluminium chloride, 4.0 g (3 mmol) and acetyl chloride, 2.35 g (3 mmol) were added successively to 10 ml of dry chloroform. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at 0 C to obtain a clear solution. A solution of 4.46 g (2 mmol) of N-octylcarbazole in 10 ml of dry chloroform was added drop wise to the above solution at 0°C during 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three hours. After the completion of the reaction (TLC control), the reaction mixture was poured into a stirred solution of 10% HCl (50 ml). The organic layer was separated, washed with distilled water three times and treated with anhydrous NaSO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo to leave a solid which was recrystallized from ethanol to afford title compund (85%) as dull green crystals having bread mold smell. m.p. 145 °C; Anal. calcd. for C16H23NO4: C, 65.51; H, 9.70; N, 4.77%; found: C, 65.58; H, 9.65; N, 4.81%.
H atoms could be located in a difference Fourier map. They were refined using a riding model with isotropic displacement parameters Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C) and with C—H ranging from 0.95Å to 0.99 or Uiso(H) set to 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl) and with C—H = 0.98 Å. The methyl groups were allowed to rotate but not to tip.
Carbazole and its derivatives have attracted extensive interest because of their biological activity (Yamashita et al. 1992). The carbazole based compounds demonstrate high thermal, morphological, chemical and environmental stability. Two basic properties of the fully aromatic carbazolyl group are the easy oxidizability of nitrogen atom and its ability to transport positive charge centers via the
specie (Law, 1992). Carbazole containing polymers have been extensively studied for different applications due to their good hole transport and electroluminescent properties. (Strohriegl & Grazulevicius 1997). The title compound was prepared in order to study some photophysical properties of carbazole derivatives. It was synthesized by the reaction of carbazole and with octyl bromide in a two phase system of 50% aqueous KOH and benzene in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalystfollowed by Friedel-Craft acetylation using anhydrous aluminium chloride.The central structural element of the title compound is a carbazole moiety substituted with two acetyl residues and an octyl-chain. The acetyl residues are coplanar [dihedral angles 5.37 (14)° and 1.0(3°] with the carbazole moiety which is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms 0.025Å). The octyl chain adopts an all
conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds.For details of the biological activity of carbazoles, see: Yamashita et al. (1992). For properties of aromatic carbazolyl groups, see: Law (1992). For the properties and applicationsof carbazole-containing polymers, see: Strohriegl & Grazulevicius (1997).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Carbazole and its derivatives have attracted extensive interest because of their biological activity (Yamashita et al. 1992). The carbazole based compounds demonstrate high thermal, morphological, chemical and environmental stability. Two basic properties of the fully aromatic carbazolyl group are the easy oxidizability of nitrogen atom and its ability to transport positive charge centers via the radical cation specie (Law, 1992). Carbazole containing polymers have been extensively studied for different applications due to their good hole transport and electroluminescent properties. (Strohriegl & Grazulevicius 1997). The title compound was prepared in order to study some photophysical properties of carbazole derivatives. It was synthesized by the reaction of carbazole and with octyl bromide in a two phase system of 50% aqueous KOH and benzene in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalystfollowed by Friedel-Craft acetylation using anhydrous aluminium chloride.
The central structural element of the title compound is a carbazole moiety substituted with two acetyl residues and an octyl-chain. The acetyl residues are coplanar [dihedral angles 5.37 (14)° and 1.0(3°] with the carbazole moiety which is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms 0.025Å). The octyl chain adopts an all trans conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds.
