Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 9-chlorofluorene (8.4 g), triethylamine (0.85 mL) and piperazine (27 g) in THF (200 mL) was refluxed under argon for 6 hours. It was then filtered and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude product was washed with water, chromatographed on silica gel and eluted with 5% MeOH saturated with NH3 in CH2Cl2 to afford the title compound (8.5 g).
