(Graph Presented) Laser flash photolysis of 1-(carbazol-9-yl)-2,4,6- trimethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate generates the carbazolyl nitrenium ion (τ = 333 ns, kobs = 3.0 × 106 M -1S-1) having absorption bands at 570 and 620 nm in CH3CN. The nitrenium ion is found to have reactivity comparable to structurally similar closed-shell diarylnitrenium ions, but spectroscopic evidence favors an open-shell singlet diradical assignment for the observed nitrenium ion. The carbazolyl nitrenium ion is also more reactive than diarylnitrenium ions as a likely result of antiaromatic character. Ab initio and hybrid DFT calculations were performed to address the degree of antiaromaticity in this and similar nitrenium ions through analysis of optimized geometries, nucleus independent chemical shifts, and isodesmic reactions.

The chlorination of carbazole with sodium hypochlorite in CH2Cl2, CHCl3, or CCl4 gave N-chlorocarbazole in 63-95percent yield.It rearranged in refluxing methanol to give carbazole, 3-chlorocarbazole, 1-chlorocarbazole, 3,6-dichlorocarbazole, and 1,6-dichlorocarbazole.These chlorocarbazoles were formed in an acid-catalyzed intermolecular reaction.In the presence of potassium carbonate dechlorination of N-chlorocarbazole was observed.No evidence for an intramolecular rearrangement was found.
