METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING 9,9'-SPIROBIFLUORENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially advantageously manufacturing 9,9'-spirobifluorenes.SOLUTION: By performing a reaction in the presence of a non-aqueous solvent when an intermediate (9-(2-biphenyl)-9-fluorene alcohols) is ring-closed, 9,9'-spirobifluorenes are obtained even when a large amount of acid is not used as a solvent. In the manufacture of the intermediate, the 9,9'-spirobifluorenes can be more easily manufactured by extracting the intermediate 9-(2-biphenyl)-9-fluorene alcohols obtained by a Grignard reaction between 2-halo biphenyl and 9-fluorenones from a reaction mixture by a water-insoluble solvent instead of a method of isolating the intermediate by a crystallization filtration being a conventional method.
