Abstract

The products from nitration and acetylation of some 9-alkylfluorenes have been investigated. Sitration gave either 2-nitro derivatives (I 2-38% yield) or 2, 9-dinitro (tentative assignment) derivatives (33-6070 yield). Monoacetylation occurred in 60-75y0 yield. Successive steps of oxime formation and Beckmctnn rearrangement converted the acetyl derivatives into acetylamino compounds. In one case (9-methylfluorene), the acetyl group was shown to ...
