TL;DR: In this article, a study has been made of some correlations in the chemical cyclization of poly- (amino-acids) by treatment of the latter in solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide with a mixture of acetic anhydride and pyridine, taking the reaction between 3,3',4,4'- benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, and 9,9-bis-(4-aminophenyl)fluorene as an example.
Abstract: A study has been made of some correlations in the chemical cyclization of poly- (amino-acids) by treatment of the latter in solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide with a mixture of acetic anhydride and pyridine, taking the reaction between 3,3',4,4'- benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and 9,9-bis-(4-aminophenyl)fluorene as an example. Various other tertiary amines (pKa=4–11 were used in place of pyridine, in combination with acetic anhydride, for cyclization of poly(amino-acids). Polyimides were prepared by chemical cyclization of poly(amino-acids) in various organic media and it is shown that polyimides of high η1n are formed in solvents in which the poly(amido-acid) dissolves or swell.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of hydrated electrons with naphthalene, phenanthrene, biphenyl and fluorene to form the respective aromatic radical anions has been studied in aqueous solutions (1 % methanol, pH 12.1).
Abstract: The reaction of hydrated electrons with naphthalene, phenanthrene, biphenyl and fluorene to form the respective aromatic radical anions has been studied in aqueous solutions (1 % methanol, pH 12.1) in the presence and absence of micellar hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The reaction rates are 3–9 times faster in the presence of micellar CTAB suggesting that CTAB will, in general, enhance this type of reaction. An absorption spectrum of the free fluorene radical anion was obtained. In the presence of CTAB the aromatic radical anions decay to second transients which are probably the hydrogen adducts of the aromatic molecules.

TL;DR: Iodination of m- and p-toluic acid by successive reaction with thallium(III) trifluoroacetate and aqueous potassium iodide afforded 2-iodo-5-methyl- and 2-odo-4-methylbenzoic acid respectively; with o-toline acid 5- and 6-iodoe-2-methyl benzoic acids were obtained as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Iodination of m- and p-toluic acid by successive reaction with thallium(III) trifluoroacetate and aqueous potassium iodide afforded 2-iodo-5-methyl- and 2-iodo-4-methyl-benzoic acid respectively; with o-toluic acid 5- and 6-iodo-2-methylbenzoic acids were obtained. Reaction of the three o-iodo-acids with lithium diphenylcuprate and lithium di-(2-naphthyl)cuprate gave the corresponding aryltoluic acids. The naphthyl acids were used in the synthesis of 8-, 9-, and 10-methylbenzo[a]fluorene; the 7-methyl isomer was prepared by a separate procedure.

TL;DR: The chalcone formed from salicylaldehyde and indoxyl cyclises in warm trifluoroacetic acid to yield the 5-oxonia-11-azabenzo[b]fluorene cation (Ib).
Abstract: The chalcone formed from salicylaldehyde and indoxyl cyclises in warm trifluoroacetic acid to yield the 5-oxonia-11-azabenzo[b]fluorene cation (Ib). The constitution of this has been confirmed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide to the related flavone, [1]benzopyrano[3,2-b]indol-11-one (XI), also accessible by heating 2′-nitroflavone with ethyl phosphite.The chalcone from indoxyl and 2,4,6-triacetoxybenzaldehyde is converted by trifluoroacetic acid into the 7,9-dihydroxy-5-oxonia-11-azabenzo[b]fluorene cation (Ia). Formally, this cation can be regarded as a nitrogenous anthocyanidin, and the possibility of its occurrence in plants is discussed briefly.

TL;DR: In this article, non-enolizable carbonyl compounds were found to undergo intriguing reaction upon heating with hexamethylphosphoric triamide; benzophenone gave 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethane and benz-phenone methylimine, while fluorenone afforded 9-methylfluorene, 9-dimethylamin-of-fluorene and fluorene.
Abstract: Non-enolizable carbonyl compounds were found to undergo intriguing reaction upon heating with hexamethylphosphoric triamide; benzophenone gave 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethane and benzophenone methylimine, while fluorenone afforded 9-methylfluorene, 9-dimethylaminofluorene, and fluorene. In contrast, anthrone, an enolizable compound, was completely recovered unchanged under the the same reaction conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of results of investigating a model π-complex of fluorene with pyromellitic anhydride and polyamides and polyimides prepared from diamines of the fluorenes series showed that in the indicated radicals of anhydide components have electron acceptor properties, while radicals of amine components behave as weak donors.
Abstract: A comparison of results of investigating a model π-complex of fluorene with pyromellitic anhydride and polyamides and polyimides prepared from diamines of the fluorene series showed that in the polymers indicated radicals of anhydride components have electron acceptor properties, while radicals of amine components behave as weak donors. With regular and dense packing of macro-chains, interaction may take place between aromatic nuclei with different electron densities of adjacent macromolecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the equilibrium between contact ion pairs and solvent-separated ion pairs in the case of triphenylsilyl-lithium in dimethoxyethane has yielded the following thermodynamic constants.
Abstract: Previous studies of the reactions of triphenyl-, methyldiphenyl-, and dimethylphenyl-silyl-lithium with fluorene in tetrahydrofuran by the stopped-flow method have been extended by following the reaction of fluorene with triphenyl- and methyldiphenyl-silylsodium in tetrahydrofuran. It has been shown that in the change from Na+ to Li+ the increase in solvation of the initial state is more important than that of the transition state. A study of the equilibrium between contact ion pairs and solvent-separated ion pairs in the case of triphenylsilyl-lithium in dimethoxyethane has yielded the following thermodynamic constants: ΔG°= 1·98 kJ mol–1, ΔH°=–23·1 kJ mol–1, ΔS°=–86·0 J K–1 mol–1, at 20 °C.

TL;DR: In this paper, rates of detritiation from the 9position of fluorene, 9-phenyl-, and 9-t-butyl-fluorene have been measured at 25° in hydroxide-water solutions containing various amounts of dimethyl sulphoxide.
Abstract: Rates of detritiation from the 9-position of fluorene, 9-phenyl-, and 9-t-butyl-fluorene have been measured at 25° in hydroxide–water solutions containing various amounts of dimethyl sulphoxide. In all three cases considerable rate enhancements are observed with the tendency being, as reflected in the log k vs. H_ correlations, for the weaker acid to be the more receptive to increases in basicity. These results are in accord with previous findings for other carbon acids.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the intensity of the bands of the stretching vibrations of the Si-H bond in the IR spectra of the organosilicon derivatives of fluorene and corresponding phenyl derivatives.
Abstract: We measured the intensity of the bands of the stretching vibrations of the Si-H bond in the IR spectra of the organosilicon derivatives of fluorene and the corresponding phenyl derivatives. A greater degree of dπ−pπ. interaction of the silicon atom with the aromatic rings was established in chlorosilafluorene than in diphenylchlorosilane. This is caused by the coplanarity of the rings of the fluorene fragment.
