What other oxidizing reagents could have been used to convert the 9-fluorenol to 9-fluorenone?
Answered by DrBob222
That all depends upon what you used, doesn't it. What did you use? Perhaps I can suggest another one.
Answered by Kevin
The one we used was sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)

There are a large number of reagents that will carry out this oxidation.
