Question
Chapter 9, Problem 6Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The detailed mechanism for the formation of fluorenone from fluorene should be written. Also, the purpose of the phase −transfer-catalyst should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The phase-transfer-catalyst is a catalyst that helps in the migration of the reactant molecules from one phase to another. It is a special kind of heterogeneous catalyst. Phase-transfer-catalyst is used in green chemistry, asymmetric alkylations, and in the preparation of polyester
