Friedel‐Crafts cycloalkylation of biphenyl with 2,3‐dichlorobutyltrichlorosilane(Cl 3 Si‐CH 2 CHClCHClCH 3 ) at a temperature of 100°C in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride catalyst gave cyclized product, 9‐methyl‐9‐(2‐trichlorosilylethyl)fluorene 1a , in 33% yield. Methylation of 1a with nucleophilic reagent such as methyl magnesium chloride, gave 9‐methyl‐9‐(2‐trimethylsilylethyl)fluorene 2 while bromination of 2 with excess amount of bromine in DMF resulted in 2,7‐dibromo‐9‐methyl‐9‐(2‐trichlorosilyl)fluorene 3 in good yield. All the compounds were structurally identified by GC/MS, 1 H and 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy.
