The synthesis of 3‐nitrosocarbazole (I) by the Fischer‐Hepp rearrangement of 9‐nitrosocarbazole has been described. The resistance of I to oxidation provides evidence that it cannot be the intermediate in the conversion of 9‐nitrosocarbazole to the C‐nitro compounds. It has also been shown that I and its derivatives cannot be synthesized by the action nitrosyl chloride on carbazoles. Methylation of I yields 9‐methyl‐3‐nitrosocarbazole, 9,9′‐dimethyl‐3‐azocarbazole and 9,9′‐dimethyl‐3‐azoxycarbazole as the main products. The mechanism of this disproportionation process has been proposed. The spectral data of I are given.
