Abstract

1,4-Diaryl-9H-fluoren-9-ones were prepared by regioselective Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of the bis(triflate) of 1,4-dihydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-one. The reactions proceeded with excellent site selectivity. The first attack occurs at position 1, due to electronic reasons.

Key words

14 Synthesis of 9-Oxo-9H-fluorene-1,4-diaryl-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) (2) To a CH₂Cl₂ solution (150 mL) of 1 (1.8 g, 8.543 mmol) was added dry pyridine (10 mL), and the solution was cooled to –78 °C under argon atmosphere. Then Tf₂O (5.785 g, 20.503 mmol, 2.4 equiv) was added dropwise to the solution and stirred for 20 h at r.t. After removal of the solvent with reduced pressure H₂O (100 mL) was added to the resulting oil, and the precipitate was filtered off and recrystallized with hot heptane. After cooling to r.t., the precipitated pure product 2 was filtered and washed with heptane. To obtain the residual product, the heptane was concentrated under vacuum, and the product 2 was isolated by column chromatography (silica gel; heptane–EtOAc, 3:1) as a yellow fluffy solid (3.318 g, 82%); mp 131–133 °C. ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 7.88 (d, ³ J = 7.6 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.78 (d, ³ J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.64 (dt, ³ J = 7.6 Hz, ⁴ J = 1.2 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.53 (d, ³ J = 9.1 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.48 (dt, ³ J = 7.5 Hz, ⁴ J = 0.9 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.21 (d, ³ J = 9.1 Hz, 1 H, ArH). ¹³C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 187.40 (CO), 144.29, 143.06, 139.32, 138.13 (C), 136.09 (CH), 133.49 (C), 131.48 (CH), 129.39 (C), 127.62 (CH), 125.70, 124.5, 124.38 (C), 118.85 (q, J _F,_C = 321.00 Hz, CF₃), 118.66 (q, J _F,_C = 321.00 Hz, CF₃). ¹⁹F NMR (282 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = –73.02 (CF₃), –73.17 (CF₃).
