Reaktionsschritte

To 25 ml of acetic acid were added 10 mmol of fluorene, 1 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide and a binary co-catalyst [0.03 mmol of acetylacetonatovanadium V(AA)3 and 0.02 mmol of acetylacetonatocopper Cu(AA)2 ]and the resultant mixture was stirred under an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 90° C. for 8 hours. The products in the reaction mixture were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, fluorene was converted into fluorenol (yield 5%) and fluorenone (yield 30%) with a conversion of 36%. The selectivity of such oxides (the alcohol and the ketone) was 97%.
