Indolopyridines with a bridging heteroatom. 9. Synthesis, structure, and thermolysis of 5-hydroxy-5-(2-pyridyl)-fluorene and 4-azafluorene
Abstract
Treatment of fluorenone or 4-azafluoren-9-one with 2-pyridyllithium gives 5-hydroxy-5-(2-pyridyl)fluorene and its aza analog. The structure of the former has been studied by X-ray crystallography. It was found that, in contrast to the non-condensed diaryl-2-pyridylcarbinols, these alcohols do not undergo acid catalyzed dehydration and heterocyclization. Under pyrolytic conditions. 5-pyridylfluorenol undergoes fission to form fluorenone.
