Reaktionsschritte

A 250 mL round-bottomed flask was charged with 20.0 g (120 mmol) fluorene, 16.0 g (60 mmol) iodine and 4.0 g (17 mmol) periodic acid. 150 mL (80%) acetic acid was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen at 80° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The solid residue was vacuum filtered, dissolved in toluene and then washed with 5% sodium hydrogen sulphite(to remove excess iodine). The toluene solution was concentrated under vacuo and then passed through a flash column using toluene as the eluent to give 32.0 g (91% yield) of the product (off white solid).
