t-BuOK-catalysed alkylation of fluorene with alcohols: a highly green route to 9-monoalkylfluorene derivatives.

ABSTRACT: A simple, mild and efficient protocol was developed for the alkylation of fluorene with alcohols in the presence of t-BuOK as catalyst, affording the desired 9-monoalkylfluorenes with near quantitative yields in most cases.
