In the title compound, C21H23NO2, the hexyl group adopts an extended conformation, the six C atoms are nearly coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.082 (3) Å] and their mean plane is approximately perpendicular to the carbazole ring system, with a dihedral angle of 78.91 (15)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers; π–π stacking between carbazole ring systems of adjacent dimers further links the dimers into supramolecular chains propagating along the b-axis direction [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.868 (2) and 3.929 (2) Å].
Keywords: crystal structure.

Carbazole single aldehyde (1.6 g, 5 mmol) and malonic acid (1.04 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in pyridine with addition of 0.1 ml piperidine. The mixture was refluxed for 3 h, traced by TLC then
(silica, petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (V/V) = 5: 1) and finally 1.2 g white solid were acquired. Yield: 37%. 0.1 g LCOOH was dissolved in 30 ml me thanol, filtered to 50 ml volumetric flask, naturally evaporated for a week, and then colorless single crystals were obtained. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3COCD3) 0.84 (t, 3H), 1.33 (m, 6H), 1.89 (m, 2H), 4.46 (t, 2H), 6.59 (d, 1H), 7.26 (t, 1H), 7.50 (t, 1H), 7.62 (t, 2H), 7.82 (d, 1H), 7.87 (d, 1H), 8.23 (t, 1H), 8.51 (s, 1H), 10.53 (s, 1H).All hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with O—H = 0.82 and C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C,O) for methyl H and hydroxyl H atoms, and 1.2Ueq(C) for the others.

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. |

Recently, carbazole derivatives have attracted attention as their superphotoelectric effect (Tao et al., 2010) and electron transporting capabilities (Zheng et al., 2012). So they have been widely used in biochemistry optical switching (Adhikari et al., 2009), 3-D microfabrication (Daicho et al., 2013) and optical data storage (Dvornikov et al., 2009). In the present paper, the title carbazole derivative (Fig.1) is synthesized.
In the molecule, the carbazole and carboxylic acid are coplanar, while the hexyl group is nearly perpendicular to the plan of carbazole ring [dihedral angle = 78.91 (15)°]. The molecule connect with each other by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding O1—H1···O2.
