9-Methylene-fluorene or dibenzofulvene (DBF) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with chemical formula (C₆H₄)₂C=CH₂. It is best known as one product from deprotection of the Fmoc group.^[1] It can be prepared by treatment of 9-hydroxymethylfluorene with strong base.^[2]

Properties[edit]

It is an analog of a 1,1-diphenylethylene. Polymerization of 9-methylene-fluorene produces a π-stacked polymer.^[3]
