1,8‐Dicarbonylcarbazoles are important starting materials for various applications, especially for pincer‐type ligands. The convenient synthesis of a series of 1,8‐diacyl‐3,6‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐9 H ‐carbazoles ( 2 ) by the direct Friedel‐Crafts acylation of 3,6‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐9 H ‐carbazole ( 1 ) is described. During the reaction, the dealkylation also occurred, and 1,8‐diacetyl‐3‐ tert ‐butyl‐9 H ‐carbazole ( 4 ) was isolated as well as characterized by an X‐ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the steric bulkiness of the acyl chlorides strongly affects the yields of 1,8‐diacylation of 1 .
