N-Vinylcarbazole is an organic compound used as a monomer in the production of poly(vinylcarbazole), [3] a conductive polymer, in which conductivity is photon-dependent. The compound is used in the photoreceptors of photocopiers.[4] Upon exposure to γ-irradiation, N-vinylcarbazole undergoes solid-state polymerisation.[5]

Synthesis

One possible synthesis, patented by Nippon Shokubai, is based on the reaction of carbazole with ethylene carbonate at 300 °C (572 °F)-500 °C (932 °F) under partial vacuum and in the presence of alkaline earth metal and alkaline metal catalyst and silica. This reaction produces N-(2-Hydroxyethyl) carbazole, which in turn generates vinylcarbazole through water eliminiation.[3]
