9-Fluorenone

Description

9-fluorenone is an important intermediate for organic synthesis. It can be used to manufacture a variety of fine chemicals, mainly used as a modifier for the production of polymer materials, bisphenol fluorene, fluorenyl benzoxazine resin, acrylic resin, polyester, polycarbonate and epoxy resin. In the laboratory, fluorene was used as the raw material, dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent, sodium hydroxide as the catalyst and oxygen as the oxidant. The oxidizing reaction was carried out by a tower packing reactor. The reaction solution was cooled and filtered to obtain a crude fluorenone. The content of crude fluorenone is 93%. We can recover 94% of the solvent and part of the crude fluorenone through distillation of the filtrate. The crude fluorenone is purified by directional crystallization to obtain yellow flaky fluorenone that have a purity of 99.8% or more.

The Uses of 9-Fluorenone

9-Fluorenone is used in the preparation of antimalarial drugs. It is a fluorene derivative. Further, it is used in functional polymer and in dyes.

What are the applications of Application

9-Fluorenone is 9-Fluorenone is a polycyclic aromatic ketone that has photosensitizing properties and also has the ability to undergo electrochemical polymerization. 9-Fluorenone is used in industry as an initiator in visible-light cured resin systems. 9-Fluorenone has potentially toxic effects on humans, as exposure can cause DNA mutations.
