Using fluorene(2)as the starting material,it was chlorinated by trichloroisocyanuric acid to obtain 2,7-dichlorofluorene(3),which was acylated with chloroacetyl chloride to produce 2,7-dichlorofluorene-4-chloroethyl ketone(4).Then,α-(di-n-butylaminomethyl)-2,7-dichloro-4-fluorenylmethanol(5)was obtained via reduction,cyclization and amination by one-pot method.Finally,5 was condensed with p-chlorobenzaldehyde to obtain benfluorenol(1),with an overall yield of 36%and a purity of 99.4%.The improved process used trichloroisocyanuric acid as the chlorinating agent,which improved the selectivity and safety of the reaction.The reduction,cyclization and amination were completed by one-pot method,which reduced the reaction temperature,shortened the reaction cycle,improved production efficiency,and increased the yield from 60%to 80%.The improved process was simple to operate,low in production cost and suitable for industrial production.
