Procedure

Dibenzothiophene (9.21 g, 50 mmol) was dissolved in 100 ml of dry THF and solution was cooled to −50° C. n-BuLi (1.6 molar solution in hexanes, 40 ml, 64 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, stirred for 4 hours and cooled to −30° C. Dibenzofluorenone (9.0 g, 50 mmol) in 70 ml THF was added dropwise, reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (75 ml), washed with brine 3 times, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The solid residue was purified by column chromatography on silica (hexane/ethyl acetate 7/3) providing 12.0 g of 9-(dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-4-yl)-9H-fluoren-9-ol as white solid.
