A satisfactory model of the intermediate in the formation of polyaryltrifluoromethylmethanes in the trifluoroacetylation of 9-methylcarbazole is 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-bis(9-methyl-3-carbazolyl)-2-hydroxyethane. The kinetic isotope effect of the reaction was evaluated. It is shown that the rate of the reaction is determined by the formation of a sigma complex. The trifluoromethylation of 9-methyl-carbazole at 110/sup 0/C is accompanied by demethylaction of the substrate under the influence of trifluoroacetic acid.
