Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (1.1 ml) and catalytically effective amount of N,N-dimethylformamide were added to a solution of 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-9H-fluorene (1.05 g) in methylene chloride (15 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then heated under reflux for 1 hour. By evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, 2-(1-chloroethyl)-9H-fluorene was obtained.
