(Figure Presented) A series of three derivatives of 1,8-di(pyrid-2′- yl)carbazole were prepared by Stille-type coupling of 2-(tri-n-butylstannyl) pyridine with the appropriate 1,8-dibromocarbazole. The carbazoles were prepared by appropriate substitution methodologies on the parent carbazole or by palladium-catalyzed cyclization of di-(p-tolyl)amine to provide the carbazole ring system. An X-ray structure of the di-tert-butyl derivative confirmed that both pyridyl groups were oriented for favorable intramolecular H-bonding to the central N-H. Two orientations of the molecule were found in the unit cell and this observation was corroborated by two N-H stretching bands in the solid state IR. Substitution of N-H by N-D led to increased emission intensity through diminished intramolecular deactivation of the excited state. The di-tert-butyl derivative formed a tridentate complex with Pd(II), which showed a red-shifted band attributed to an intraligand charge transfer state.
Synthesis and isolation of nitro-β-carbolines obtained by nitration of commercial β-carboline alkaloids

Nitration of commercial full aromatic β-carboline alkaloids nor-harmane (1), harmane (2), harmine (3), harmol (4), and the 7-acetylated derivative of harmol (5) is described. Advantages and disadvantages of different nitration reagents which involve acidic conditions (HNO3/H+) and neutral conditions (Cu(NO3)2; ceric ammonium nitrate) are discussed. A complete 1H and 13C-nmr characterization including ms and also uv absorption spectra in neutral and acid media is presented. A detailed ei-ms and ld-tof-ms study is enclosed because the nitro-β-carbolines constitute a new family of β-carboline-like chromophores with potential use as matrix in uv-maldi-tof-ms.
