Reaction Steps

In an oxygen atmosphere, a mixture of 10 millimoles of fluorene, 1 millimole of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.05 millimole of acetylacetonatomanganese Mn(AA)3 and 25 milliliters of benzonitrile was stirred at a temperature of 100° C. for six hours. Products in the reaction mixture were analyzed with gas chromatography, and fluorene was transformed into fluorenone (yield 28%) with a transformation rate of 32 percent.
