9‐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.
