Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING 9-SPIROFLUORENE COMPOUND
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004155659
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method for efficiently producing a 9-spirofluorene compound useful as a raw material for a phenanthrene spiroindenonaphthopyran compound having excellent photochromic characteristics.

An organometallic compound such as 4-lithiophenanthrene derived from 9-fluorenylmethanol is reacted with a fluorenone compound such as 3,7-dimethoxy-5-t-butyldimethylsilyloxybenzo[c]fluoren-7-one to produce the 9-spirofluorene compound. In the process, the 9-fluorenylmethanol is mixed with an alkali metal hydride compound in an aprotic solvent and then treated with a formic ester. The resultant fluorene-9-carbazole is then subjected to dehydration transformation to synthesize the 9-spirofluorene compound.
