Description and Uses
9-Methylene-9H-fluorene is a fluorescent probe that can be used to detect the presence of hydroxyl groups in vitro. It reacts with the hydroxyl group on the substrate film and emits light, which is then detected using a fluorometer. The reaction mechanism is shown below. Fluorophores are often used for sample preparation because they are relatively stable and can be easily removed from the final product. 9-Methylene-9H-fluorene has been shown to enhance cationic polymerization, which can lead to improved efficacy in some applications.
9-Methylidenefluorene is an analog of 9-Methylfluorene (M305335); a compound that has been shown to be mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 in the presence of 9000 X g supernantant from Aroclor-induced rats.
