Thiomorpholines are comparable to other secondary amines in terms of nucleophilicity and N-alkylation or acylation with alkyl groups or acid halides.
Fluorene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon insoluble in water and soluble in many organic solvents. Fluorenes are one of the most important fluorescent molecules with applications in polymers, electronic devices, sensors, and photochromic materials.
