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 polymers. Crown ethers, ammonium, and phosphonium salts are some examples of phase-transfer-catalysts.
