J. Ipaktschi et A. Sharifi, PREPARATION OF 2,7-DIAMINOFLUORENONE DERIVATIVES BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED AMINATION, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 129(8-9), 1998, pp. 915-920
A convenient synthesis of tert-2,7-diaminofluorenonens 3a-3e via palla
dium catalyzed reaction of secondary amines with 2,7-dibromofluorene a
nd subsequent oxidation is described. In the cases were non-cyclic sec
ondary amines are applied, the aniline derivatives 4c-4e are formed as
side products by a dehydrohalogenation reaction.
