Summary

A second method for the synthesis of 8-bromo-3-methoxyfluoranthene from 2-bromo-7-methoxyfluorene is described. The autoxidation of fluorene derivatives including the 9-carboxylic acids and of related compounds, particularly 4-α-cyanobenzyl-7−oxo-7H-benz[de]anthracene, is discussed. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare 3-bromofluorene-9-acetic acid in good yield are reported.
