Carbazole, N-ethylcarbazole, iminodibenzyl (10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine), N-ethyliminodibenzyl and imipramine are readily mono-, di- or polybrominated in high yields at ambient temperature in dichloromethane by use of the appropriate quantity of N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of silica gel. By contrast, the brominations of the β-carbolines, harmane and norharman, are less selective and give mixtures of products, some of which have unusual substitution patterns.
