A simple synthetic strategy to π -conjugated spirofluorenes

Abstract

Abstract: We have developed a simple synthetic strategy to spirofluorene derivatives via ring-closing metathesis and Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as key steps. To this end, we have used readily available starting materials to generate a library of spirofluorene derivatives under mild reaction conditions.
