Transition‐metal‐free access to carbazoles was achieved through base‐mediated intramolecular C–C bond formation. Reactions of N ‐substituted o ‐halodiarylamines with potassium tert ‐butoxide in the presence of ethylene glycol or 1,10‐phenanthroline provided carbazoles in moderate to excellent yields. This transformation may proceed through a radical pathway according to a control experiment with a radical scavenger.
