The efficient synthesis of fluorenes from biaryl triazenes is successfully developed. Up to 27 examples of biaryl triazenes are converted into their corresponding fluorene derivatives in the presence of CF3COOH (4.0 equiv). Mechanism research i

In the presence of palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] and an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, fluorene derivatives can be generated in good to excellent yields from 2-halo-2′-methylbiaryls through the benzylic C-H bond activation (14 examples; 81-97% yields). The scope and limitations of this protocol have been examined. A wide range of functional groups, such as alkyl, alkoxy, ester, nitrile, and others, is able to tolerate the reaction conditions herein. The cyclization of an isotope-labelled biphenyl gave the corresponding product with a primary kinetic isotope effect (k H/kD=4.8:1), which indicates that the rate-determining step of this reaction is the activation of the benzylic C-H bond. Moreover, indenofluorenes were also accessed in excellent results from terphenyls (3 examples; 91-92% yields). The cascade reaction of 2,6-dichloro-2′- methylbiphenyl with diphenylacetylene produced 8,9-diphenyl-4H-cyclopenta[def] phenanthrene in 60% yield through the activation of an aryl and a benzylic C-H bond.

The intramolecular interaction between a sulphur atom and a methoxycarbonyl group was found to affect their chemical reactivity.The rates of C-S bond cleavage in methyl-9,9-bis(ethylthio)fluorene-x-carboxylate, where x is 1, 2, or 3, with sodium ethanethiolate show that the rate is minimal, though comparable with the others, when x=1, because of steric effects.In contrast, methyl 9-(ethylthio)fluorene-x-carboxylates, where x=1, 2, or 3, exhibit the maximum rate when x=1.The rates of ester exchange in the presence of toluene-p-sulphonic acid indicate that the reaction is accelerated by the presence of two ethylthio groups at the 9 position of methyl fluorene-1-carboxylate but no significant effect is detected if there is only one ethylthio group.The hydrolysis of the thioketal group in 9,9-bis(ethylthio)fluorene is also accelerated by the presence of a 1-methoxycarbonyl group.The implication of these results are discussed with the use of a model compound.
