Cyclohexane-1,3-dione is reacted with phenylhydrazine to give cyclohexane-1,3-dione monophenylhydrazone which is converted by a Fischer rearrangement into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-oxo-carbazole (see Annalen, 278, 39/1894; J.C.S., 1951, 700), dehydration of which gives 4-hydroxycarbazole. Of decisive importance for the economic carrying out of this process is the discovery of a suitable method of dehydration or of a suitable dehydration catalyst.
