Reaction Steps

Ten (10) millimoles of fluorene, 1 millimole of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 0.05 millimole of acetylacetonatomanganese Mn(AA)2 were added to 25 milliliters of benzonitrile. The resultant mixture was stirred in an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 100° C. for six hours. A product in the reaction mixture was analyzed by means of gas chromatography, and fluorene was transformed into fluorenone (yield 30%) with a transformation rate of 38 percent.
