Procedure
To the reactor which has been purged with nitrogen is charged 400 mL carbon tetrachloride such that its level just comes to the bottom of the sixth stage. NaOH solution (the same solution used in Recycle run #2, 25 percent by weight, 6.14 molest 245.6 g dry weight, 983 g solution weight, 774.0 mL) is then charged to the reactor, and fills all six of the stirred zones. The stirrer is started and its speed adjusted to 1500 rpm. Fluorene (0.185 moles, 30.75 g) dissolved in carbon tetrachloride (2.24 molest 344.8 g, 225.35 mL) is fed into the catalyst saturator containing the catalyst solution using a metering pump at a rate of 5.5 mL/min. The product solution is collected at the overflow and washed and dried as in Recycle run #2. The total product solution collected in this fashion is 1046 g which is evaporated to dryness on the rotary evaporator leaving 41.11 g of very light yellow crystals, 9,9-dichlorofluorene (94.5 percent of a theoretical yield of 43.49 g).
