Fluorene Derivatives with Multi‐addressable Properties: Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity. Issue 4 (9th April 2017) - El‐Sayed, Refat
Abstract: A series of novel fluorene derivatives were synthesized from the target compound N ‐octadecyl‐9‐oxo‐9 H ‐fluorene‐4‐carboxamide (3 ), which led to new functionalized five‐ and six‐membered heterocyclic derivatives via reaction with various reagents. The synthesized compounds were allowed to react with propylene oxide to afford unique surface‐active properties. The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by spectroscopic and analytical tools. The synthesized compounds have good surface activity and the biological degradation of these fluorene‐based surfactants was greater than 96% after 7 days.
