Abstract
Abstract9‐Nitrocarbazole (1) was prepared and rearranged to give a mixture of 1‐nitro‐ (2) and 3‐nitrocarbazole (3) in the same ratio as observed in the case of the carbazole nitration. The evidence for the formation of 1 during the nitration of carbazole in acetic acid is given. The formation of C‐nitro compounds during methylation of the 1,3,6,8‐tetrachlorocarbazole/1,3,6,8‐tetrachloro‐9‐nitrocarbazole complex can be explained by an alkali‐catalysed nitramine rearrangement. The mechanism of this rearrangement is discussed.
