Reaktionsschritte

A suspension of methyl triphenylphosphonium bromide (31.22 g; 87.3 mmol) in 500 mL of ether was added at -30° C. 10M n-butyllithium in hexane (8.73 mL; 87.3 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 1/2 h. To the above mixture was added 15 g (83.2 mmol) of 9-fluorenone in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was refluxed for 1 h. The above mixture was cooled to 0° C., filtered, and concentrated to yield 11.3 g (76.3%) of 9-methylene-fluorene (Formula III: R3 =R4 =H; R5 =R6 together form a 9-fluorene ring).
