Carbazole (CAS: 86-74-8), Carbazole and its derivatives are a class of important nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds possessing various unique properties and biological activity. Carbazole is an aromatic heterocyclic organic molecule. It has intense fluorescence and prolonged phosphorescence under ultraviolet light.  
Important intermediates of dyes and pigments. Used in making photographic plates sensitive to ultraviolet light. Reagent for lignin, carbohydrates, and formaldehyde. Used in the chemical reagents, explosives, insecticides, lubricants, rubber antioxidants, etc. Used as an analytical reagent and also for organic synthesis.
Carbazole and its derivatives are widely used as an intermediate in synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, pigments and other organic compounds.?carbazole is also used in luminescence chemistry as a photosensitizing and additional charge transport material. Carbazole structure is a motif in pharmaceuticals such as carvedilol used to treat high blood pressure and to prevent cardiac arrhythmias and angina.
Carbazole can be used to produce dyes, pigments, photoconductors, photosensitive materials, special inks, etc. The pigment produced with it is permanent purple RL, which is widely used in the coloring of automobile topcoat and high temperature resistant plastics, and has the advantages of high temperature resistance and ultraviolet light resistance. The dyestuffs sulphur vat blue RNX and Haichang blue produced with it have excellent fastness indicators, especially the fastness to chlorine bleaching. The blue varieties include carbazole IDM, carbazole LR, carbazole LB, and carbazole L3B. , the black varieties have carbazole black D. It also produces carbazole bisoxazine violet, a blue-violet pigment used in coatings, printing inks, carbon paper, and more. Carbazole is used in the production of sulfide reduced blue RNX, direct lightfast blue FFRL, FFGL, etc. It can also make leather, N-vinylcarbazole plastics, pesticides and insecticides tetranitrocarbazole, chlorinated carbazole, and UV-sensitive photographic dry films. In addition, carbazole has been increasingly used in the development of emerging optoelectronic new materials. The use of carbazole can prepare organic nonlinear optics (NLO) materials, organic electroluminescence (OEL) materials, photorefractive materials, containing Bifunctional system of carbazole chromophore, carbazole-containing photorefractive small molecular glass, etc.
Carbazole is a tricyclic aromatic heterocyclic. Carbazole can form a new type of DNA minor groove complex to suppress the synthesis of new DNA or RNA.  

Air & Water Reactions: Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile: Carbazole is an extremely weak base. Carbazole is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Carbazole reacts with nitrogen oxides. Potassium hydroxide fusion yields a salt.
Hazard: Possible carcinogen.
Fire Hazard: Flash point data for Carbazole are not available; however, Carbazole is probably combustible.
Safety Profile: Intraperitoneal route. A flammable liquid.
Acute toxicity: Oral-rat LDL0: 500 mg/kg; Intraperitoneal-mouse LD50: 200 mg/kg
Flammability hazard characteristics: In case of fire, high temperature, oxidant flammable; toxic NOx smoke from combustion
Fire extinguishing agent: Water, carbon dioxide, foam

Sulfuric acid method
Dissolve crude anthracene in chlorobenzene or other solvents to remove soluble phenanthrenes, quinones, etc. Insoluble Anthracene and Carbazoles are then reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid, and then Carbazole sulfate is generated departing from the Anthracene. The Carbazole sulfate is hydrolyzed, filtered and dried to obtain Carbazole.
Solvent-rectification method
Dissolve crude anthracene with heavy benzene, and remove soluble phenanthrene, quinone and other substances. Insoluble anthracene and Carbazole are rectified in a rectification tower to obtain a mixture containing 85 to 90% of Carbazole with a yield of 65%.
Pyridine solvent method
Dissolve crude Anthracene with heavy benzene, and remove soluble phenanthrene, quinone and other substances. Then pyridine is used as a solvent to filter off insoluble anthracene at 90℃, and the filtrate is then crystallized to obtain crude Carbazole. The crude Carbazole can be treated with chlorobenzene or other solvents to obtain Carbazole with yield of 97 to 99%.
