Compound (II) was isolated by flash chromatography as one of the byproducts in our preparation of (I) from the reaction of 9-fluorenyllithium with acetyl chloride in THF under argon (Meyers et al., 2000; Robinson et al., 2000). Recrystallization from hexane provided colorless crystals, m.p. 454–455.5 K (corr. no decomp.), used for the NMR and X-ray diffraction studies. NMR (Varian VXR 300; 300 MHz 1H, 75 MHz 13C; CDCl3), 1H: δ 1.01 (s, 3H), 1.40 (s, 1H), 4.78 (s, 2H), 7.27 (m, 4H, J = 1.2, 2.7, 7.5 Hz), 7.42 (m, 4H, J = 7.2 Hz), 7.68 (d, 2H, J = 7.5 Hz), 7.83 (m, 6H, J = 7.2 Hz). 13C: δ 22.34, 56.29, 77.17, 119.82, 120.03, 126.61, 126.65, 126.79, 127.40, 127.67, 142.45, 142.73, 143.59, 144.18.
The rotational orientations of the methyl and hydroxyl groups were refined by the circular Fourier methods available in SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997). All H atoms are riding.

The reaction of 9-fluorenyllithium with acetyl chloride provided 9-acetylfluorene, (I), as the major product (Meyers et al., 2000) along with byproducts, among which was the `diacetylfluorene', unequivocally identified as 9-(1-acetoxyethylidene)fluorene (Robinson et al., 2000). A second byproduct has now been isolated and characterized unequivocally as 1,1-bis(9-fluorenyl)ethanol, (II). As shown in the Scheme, we believe that (II) results from an aldol addition of 9-fluorenyllithium to (I). Although the acetylation of 9-fluorenyl anion has been reported by several investigators, (2) was neither identified nor suggested as a byproduct (cf. Naik et al., 1988; Rouzaud et al., 1965; Scherf & Brown, 1961; Greenhow et al., 1953; Von & Wagner, 1944; and Miller & Bachman, 1935), nor has it been noted in any other previous literature. \sch
The X-ray structure of (II) with atom numbering is shown in Fig. 1. The two fluorenyl-ring planes are nearly perpendicular to each other, subtending an angle of 89.90 (9)°. Some of the 18 short intramolecular contacts involving H atoms are as much as 0.36 Å less than the sum of their respective van der Waals radii [contact radii used for C, H, and O are 1.70, 1.20, and 1.52 Å, respectively (Bondi, 1964)]. However, little angular distortion is exhibited other than that possibly suggested by the differences in angles subtended from the common sp3– hybridized C10 atom, which range from 105.7 (2) to 112.1 (2)°. A surprising feature exhibited by (II) is the significant bowing of one of its fluorene-ring planes, illustrated by the labeled central molecule of Fig. 2 and substantiated by the out-of-plane distances of the C atoms of the normally planar fluorene ring, e.g. C2' -0.192 (4), C7' -0.168 (4), C9' 0.200 Å (3), etc. A full list of the fluorene least-squares plane parameters can be found in the CIF. No similar bowing is exhibited in the X-ray structures of the many other fluorene compounds we have reported.
Fig. 2 also shows the three surrounding molecules which impinge on both faces of the central, bowed, fluorene ring, and the resulting seven short intermolecular interactions. Of these, three are less than or equal to the sum of their respective van der Waals radii, and four are very slightly longer (> 0.0 but < 0.10 Å). In our opinion, the three which involve direct impingement on the atoms toward the ends of the convex face of the origin molecule are mainly responsible for the observed bowing. These interactions, respectively, are 0.09 Å less than, equal to, and 0.02 Å greater than the sum of their van der Walls radii. In addition, there is a possible weak hydrogen bond from the hydroxyl group of molecule 3 (symmetry operator: x, -y, 1/2 + z) to the pi cloud of the origin molecule's upper phenyl ring (see Fig. 2). Using the centroid (Cg1) of this phenyl ring as the acceptor site, the hydrogen-bond geometry (O1—H1···Cg1) is D—H 0.93, H···Cg1 3.02 Å, D···Cg1 3.528 (2) Å and D—H—Cg1 123°. It should be noted that the H···Cg1 distance is longer than that between this H atom and the closest C atoms of the origin molecule's upper phenyl ring, viz. C1' 2.71, and C2' 2.96 Å. Thus, the suspected hydrogen bond may not be directed at the phenyl- ring centroid per se, but more toward its periphery, producing a minor attractive force which may contribute to the observed bowing. That this bowing of one of the fluorene rings is a solid-state phenomenon is supported by the molecular symmetry of (II) in solution indicated by the NMR equivalency of the corresponding atoms of its two fluorene moieties.
