Application

9-Fluorenone has been extensively used as a precursor to synthesize a variety of organic electronic materials. Some of the general examples are:
  • Synthesis of host for the blue and green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs).
  • Synthesis of fluorene-based molecular motors.
  • Synthesis of open-shell Chichibabin′s hydrocarbons as potential organic spintronic materials.
  • It also acts as a sensitizer in the formation of picene via photosensitization of 1,2-di(1-naphthyl)ethane.

Biologically interesting fluoren-9-one and xanthen-9-one derivatives have been prepared by a novel aryl to imidoyl palladium migration, followed by intramolecular arylation. The fluoren-9-one synthesis appears to involve both a palladium migration mechanism and a C-H activation process proceeding through an
