An intramolecular nucleophilic alkylation by a stabilized carbanion: synthesis of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluorofluorene and related compounds
Abstract
The synthesis is reported of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluorofluorene and related compounds by means of an intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization carried out with a stabilised carbanion generated at a saturated carbon atom.
