2-Nitrocarbazole is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a carbazole core with a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the second position of the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits notable photophysical properties, making it of interest in various applications, including organic electronics and as a potential intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for further functionalization and use in chemical reactions. Additionally, 2-nitrocarbazole can undergo reduction and substitution reactions, which are valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks. Proper handling and disposal methods are essential when working with this substance in laboratory settings.

2-Nitro-9H-carbazole

2-Nitro-9H-carbazole is a nitro aromatic compound that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It has shown mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, as well as toxicity to the liver and kidney. 2-Nitro-9H-carbazole is metabolized by a number of metabolic transformations, including activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes and conjugation with glucuronic acid. The liver enzyme S9 also catalyzes the conversion of 2-nitro-9H-carbazole to its ultimate metabolite, 3-methylcholanthrene, which is cytotoxic to both cultured hepatocytes and lung cells.
