Abstract

The two o-methoxy derivatives of the carcinogen, N-2-fluorenylacetamide, aiz., N-(1- methoxy-2-flrioreny1)-acetamide (1 b) and N-(3-methoxy-2-fluorenyl) acetamide (2b), as well as t, he corresponding amines, l-methoxy-2-fluorenamine (IC) and 3-methoxy-2- flriorenamine (2c), were synthesized starting from indene and indan-1-one, mid tested for carcinogenic activity. The synthetic path leading to the 3-methoxy derivative is amenable ...
