To a reactor were added 0.05 mol of 9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxlic acid, 0.075 mol of butanol, 40 ml of toluene and 0.4 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction was heated to reflux for 6 hrs, while water was separated by a water segregator. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture was neutralized with sodium bicarbonate, washed with saturated saline, extracted with ethyl acetate, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Removing the solvent gave the product with a yield of 80%.
