The NO migration from N ‐methyl‐ N ‐nitrosobenzene‐sulfonamide to 3,6‐dibromocarbazole was proposed in a recent literature to follow a stepwise reaction path. However, the present density functional theory calculations at the MP2/6–31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) level show that this reaction exclusively proceeds via a concerted mechanism involving a four‐membered ring transition state. The calculated barrier is in good agreement with the experimental finding. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007
