참여 물질

반응 단계

50.4 g (0.223 mol) of 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenecarboxylic acid are dissolved in 500 mL of methanol, combined with 5 mL (0.089 mol) of concentrated sulfuric acid and refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling, 100 mL of sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (about pH 8) are added and the methanol is largely evaporated down. The mixture is extracted with dichloromethane and water, the organic phase is dried and evaporated to dryness. The product is purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate. Yield: 50.0 g of white crystals (93% of theoretical yield).
