What is 9-Fluorenemethanol?

Chemical properties

WHITE TO PALE YELLOW CRYSTALLINE POWDER

The Uses of 9-Fluorenemethanol

9-Fluorenylmethanol acts as a N-protecting reagent, which is used in the synthesis of peptide. It is also used in the preparation of deoxynucleoside 9-fluorenemethyl phosphorodithioates. Further, it is used to prepare 9-(fluoromethyl)fluorene. In addition to this, it is involved in the electropolymerization with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate to yield low-potential electrodeposition of semiconducting poly(9-fluorenemethanol) film.

The Uses of 9-Fluorenemethanol

9-Fluorenemethanol, N-protecting reagent, was used in the peptide syntheses. 9-Fluorenemethanol was also used in the synthesis of deoxynucleoside 9-fluorenemethyl phosphorodithioates.

General Description

Vibrational spectroscopy of jet-cooled 9-fluorenemethanol and its clusters 9-fluorenemethanol-H₂O, 9-fluorenemethanol-CH₃OH, 9-fluorenemethanol-C₂H₅OH and 9-fluorenemethanol-C₃H₇OH has been studied by IR-UV double-resonance method. Electropolymerization of 9-fluorenemethanol in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate leads to low-potential electrodeposition of semiconducting poly(9-fluorenemethanol) (PFMO) film.
