title: Synthesis and hydrolysis of fluorene-9-spiro-2'-(N-aryl-3' ,3'-dichloroaziridines)
abstract: The synthesis of eight fluorene-9-spiro-2'-(N-aryl-3' ,3'-dichloroaziridines) was achieved via the reaction of dichlorocarbene with the  appropriately substituted N-fluorenylideneanilines. Hydrolysis of the spirofluorenes afforded the corresponding 9-chlorofluorene-9-carboxanilides in excellent yields.
