摘要

The efficient synthesis of perfluoroalkyl-substituted fluorenes directly from indenones, malononitrile and methyl perfluoroalk-2-ynoates via a one-pot two-step three-component cascade process is reported. Up to 12 examples of indenones with various substituents were converted into their corresponding functionalized fluorene derivatives in good to excellent yields.
