AI Technical Summary
Existing methods require large amounts of oxidants or metal reagents to prepare fluorene derivatives, and the reaction conditions are harsh and environmentally unfriendly, making it impossible to prepare fluorene derivatives with simple structures.
A visible-light photocatalyst-based radical pathway was employed, using sodium benzenesulfinate as a radical transfer agent to cyclize 1,6-enyne compounds in a carbon dioxide atmosphere. Fluorene derivatives were prepared in a one-step reaction at room temperature using photocatalysts such as Ru(bpy)3Cl2, [Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)](PF6), and 4-CzIPN.
A simple, efficient, and green synthesis of fluorene derivatives was achieved. Two new rings and two carbon-carbon bonds were constructed at room temperature via visible light catalysis. The reaction was mild, environmentally friendly, economical, applicable to a wide range of substrates, and yielded good product yields.
