Reaction Steps

In an argon-purged flask, 9-fluorenone-2,7-dicarboxylic acid (10.0 g, 0.037 mol) was suspended in diethylene glycol (75 mL). The flask was placed in a room temperature oil bath then NaOH (6.2 g, 0.155 mol) and an 80% solution of hydrazine hydrate (7.4 mL, 0.12 mol) were added successively. The reaction mixture was slowly heated to 110 C and refluxed for approximately four hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, carefully poured into water and acidified to pH 2 with concentrated HCl. The product was filtered and washed with water. Product was dissolved in warm NaOH solution (0.5M, warm) and precipitated by acidification to pH 2 with HCl. The product was filtered and washed with water. Product was an yellow solid (9.0 g, 96%). 1H-NMR (d6-DMSO): δ (ppm) 8.2 (s, 2H, Ar); 8.1 (m, 2H, Ar); 8.0 (m, 2H, Ar); 4.1 (s, 2H, CH2).
