Reaction Steps

7-Bromomethyl-3-bromo-9-fluorenone (1.7 g) was suspended in DMF (25 ml). To this suspension was added potassium acetate (576 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for one hour. It was then diluted with ethyl acetate, washed four times with water, twice with brine, dried and evaporated. The residue was chromaographed on silica gel using 2% ethyl acetate/methylene chloride which gave the desired product (1.18 g).
