摘要: The rhodium-catalyzed cyclization of a series 2,2-diarylalkanoic acids in the presence copper acetate as an oxidant smoothly proceeded through double C–H bond cleavages and subsequent decarboxylation to produce corresponding fluorene derivatives. direct triarylmethanols also took place efficiently by using iridium catalyst rhodium, while hydroxy function was still intact.
