VIII.—Some 9-Fluorenyl and 9,9′-Bifluorenyl Derivatives.*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2012
Summary
9-Carbamoylfluorene with lithium aluminium hydride, 9-cyanofluorene with this reagent and aluminium trichloride, or (on one occasion) treatment of the oximes of 9-formylfluorene with thionyl chloride yield 9,9′-dicyano-9,9′-bifluorenyl. 9-Bromofluorene and ethanolic potassium cyanide yield 9-cyano-9,9′-bifluorenyl, and 9-formylfluorene when kept in ether for a month gives 9,9′-diformyl-9,9′-bifluorenyl. The so-called α-oxime of 9-formylfluorene described in the literature contains about 33 per cent of the higher melting β-oxime. Reduction of the oximes with zinc and acetic acid yields di(9-fluorenylidenemethyl)amine, previously obtained by other methods. A new method for the preparation of 9-aminomethylenefluorene is described and its structure has been confirmed. Many 9-substituted and 9,9′-disubstituted fluorenes exhibit characteristic absorption at 1920–1880 and 1960–1940 cm.−1.
