Application

9-Fluorenol, a white powder belonging to the class of hydroxyfluorenes, serves various purposes across multiple industries, including organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyestuffs. It is characterized by the presence of a hydroxy group at the non-aromatic carbon, specifically at position 9 of the 9H-fluorene structure, making it a secondary alcohol. In addition to its industrial applications, 9-Fluorenol is recognized as an animal metabolite and exhibits properties as a wake-promoting agent, currently explored as a next-generation anti-drowsiness drug. As a dopamine reuptake inhibitor with an IC50 of 9 μM, it plays a significant role, being a major metabolite associated with compounds targeted at enhancing wakefulness. However, it is also noted as a potential environmental carcinogen, highlighting the importance of considering safety in its handling and use.
