Disclosed is a process for the preparation of N-alkyl carbazole. Said process comprises: a) chlorinating cyclohexanone to form 2-chlorocyclohexanone; b) reacting 2-chlorocyclohexanone with N-ethyl aniline to form 2-(N-ethyl anilino)cyclohexanone; c) cyclizing 2-(N-ethyl anilino) cyclohexanone by refluxing with simultaneous water removal to obtain 9-ethyltetrahydrocarbazole; d) treating 9-ethyl-tetrahydrocarbazole with concentrated hydrochloric acid followed by water wash for removing N-ethyl aniline; e) dehydrogenating 9-ethyltetrahydrocarbazole by heating 9-ethyltetrahydrocarbazole in a solvent, in presence of a catalyst to obtain N-alkyl carbazole. |
