Reaction Steps

The substitution reaction at the 9-position was performed according to the general procedure for the synthesis of 9-substituted fluorenes described above in item IV(i). 1,3,8-Trimethylfluorene (54) (1.2 g, 5.77 mmol) was used instead of fluorene, n-BuLi (3.0 ml, 2.5 M in hexane, 7.5 mmol), RX=1-iodoethane (1.35 g, 8.65 mmol). 55 was isolated to give a white solid (1.36 g, quant.).
