Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole (4-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)carbazole) is a specialized heterocyclic epoxide intermediate. It is the direct key starting material (KSM) for synthesizing the cardiovascular API Carvedilol. Additionally, its highly reactive oxirane ring makes it a valuable building block for specialized high-temperature epoxy resins, thermal-resistant adhesives, and adrenergic receptor ligand research.

It is mainly reacted with 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamine to synthesize Carvedilol. It can also be coupled with other primary or secondary aliphatic amines for library design in medicinal chemistry.
The compound is stable in the solid state under normal ambient warehouse conditions. We package it in dry, moisture-resistant sealed drums to prevent hydrolytic degradation of the oxirane ring.
Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole is typically packaged in 25 kg fiber drums with double PE inner bags. It has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in original, unopened packaging at temperatures below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Comprehensive chemical specs, catalytic pathways, and quality compliance guidelines for raw materials sourcing.
Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole (4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)carbazole) features a carbazole ring system substituted with a glycidyl ether group. It is synthesized by the etherification of 4-hydroxycarbazole with epichlorohydrin in the presence of an inorganic base like sodium hydroxide, followed by purification and recrystallization.
Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole is a critical pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of Carvedilol, a non-selective beta-blocker and alpha-1 blocker used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure. The epoxide ring undergoes nucleophilic ring opening with 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamine to complete the Carvedilol structure.
Sourced from our GMP-compliant plant, our Epoxy Propoxy Carbazole has a purity of >=99.0% by HPLC.
It is stored in fiber drums under dry, cool conditions away from heat and moisture to maintain the epoxy ring integrity.
Crystalline solid requiring handling care to avoid skin contact. Use standard protective gloves and eye protection.
