Iron-catalyzed peroxidation of fluorenes and 9-alkyl-9<i>H</i>-fluorenes and oxidative cleavage of the CC bond in 9-alkylidene-fluorenes
A newly developed (NNN)FeCl<sub>2</sub> complex was used as an efficient catalyst for the quaternary peroxidation of 9-alkyl-9<i>H</i>-fluorenes <i>via</i> selective C-H functionalization. This peroxidation involved a radical pathway. Peroxidation of 9<i>H</i>-fluorenes was also performed efficiently. The iron catalyst is also effective for the oxidative cleavage of the CC bond in 9-alkylidene fluorenes to yield 9-fluorenones.
