Participants

Reaction Steps

610 mg (3 mmol, 1 eq) of fluoren-9-ylidene-acetonitrile in solution in 40 mL of methanol and 10 mL of ethyl acetate, then 225 mg of palladium hydroxide over coal were introduced into a 250 mL flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction medium was purged then placed under a hydrogen atmosphere (skin flask) and stirred for 6 hours while stirring. The catalyst was removed by filtration over Clarcel. The solvent was evaporated and the expected product was obtained.
