4-Hydroxycarbazole (also known as 4-Carbazolol or 9H-Carbazol-4-ol) is the direct precursor to Carvedilol, a widely prescribed beta-blocker. The carbazole ring and the hydroxyl group at the 4-position undergo highly selective epoxidation, making it the most cost-effective and chemically stable starting point for this API synthesis.
Kalpasthana ensures a high purity profile for 4-Hydroxycarbazole of ≥99.0% by HPLC. We strictly monitor critical impurities like 2-hydroxycarbazole and other positional isomers to ensure the safety and efficacy of the final API. Full technical packages (MSDS, COA, DMF support) are available for B2B audits.
The compound is packed in 25 kg HDPE fiber drums with double poly-bags. Since it is sensitive to oxidation and light, it must be stored in tightly closed, light-resistant containers. We maintain ready bulk stocks to support long-term supply contracts for global pharmaceutical companies.
Comprehensive chemical specs, catalytic pathways, and quality compliance guidelines for raw materials sourcing.
4-Hydroxycarbazole (9H-carbazol-4-ol) is a phenolic carbazole derivative. It is synthesized industrially by the dehydrogenation and subsequent aromatization of 1,2,3,9-tetrahydrocarbazolone using catalysts like palladium on carbon, or via cyclization reactions of diarylamines.
4-Hydroxycarbazole is the essential Key Starting Material (KSM) for Carvedilol. It reacts with epichlorohydrin to yield 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)carbazole (Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole), which is then coupled with 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamine to produce the final Carvedilol active ingredient.
Our 4-Hydroxycarbazole features a purity of ≥98.0% by HPLC. Each batch is supplied with an analytical testing certificate.
It is highly sensitive to oxidation and must be packed under nitrogen in sealed containers. Storage in a cool, dark place is mandatory to prevent discoloration.
