Carbazole is a heterocyclic chemical compound that is formally derived from pyrrole by adding two benzo groups. The outdated designation dibenzopyrrole is derived from this. The empirical formula of carbazole is C 12 H 9 N. It can also be viewed as a nitrogen analogue of fluorene , from which the name 9-azafluorene results.

Carbazole is found in coal tar and petroleum ; it can be synthesized thermally or photochemically by oxidative ring closure from diphenylamine . Synthesis via the diazotization of N- phenyl-1,2-diaminobenzene and elimination of nitrogen, the so-called Graebe-Ullmann synthesis, is also possible.

The carbazole derivative N -Ethylcarbazol is as a carrier for the storage of hydrogen in vehicles in the discussion.
