Synthesis and Characterization of Carbazolyl-Oxazolones

Abstract

In this study, the synthesis of 2-carbazolyl-4-aryl/heteroarylidene-5-oxazolones (3a-k) derivatives starting from carbazole glycine ester derivatives (1a-b) was described. Thus, we aimed to combine the advantages of carbazole and 5-oxazolone moieties in synthesis of 2-carbazolyl-4-aryl/ heteroarylidene-5-oxazolones (3a-k). These derivatives (3a-k) may have important biological and spectroscopic properties.
