Ak. Padhy et al., Reaction of 4-bromo-2-pyrazolines with fluorene. Part-II. Studies on effect of solvent and base, J INDIAN CH, 76(4), 1999, pp. 220-221
The reaction of 4-bromo-2-arylpyrazolines with fluorene has been studied in
different solvents and employing different bases. The exclusive formation
of the 9,9'-disubstituted-fluorene is found to be dependent upon the nature
of the solvent and the nature of the base employed as well.
