title: Synthesis of fluorenone derivatives through Pd-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization.
abstract: Palladium-catalyzed dual C-H functionalization of benzophenones to form fluorenones by oxidative dehydrogenative cyclization is reported. This method provides a concise and effective route toward the synthesis of fluorenone derivatives, which shows outstanding functional group compatibility.
