   Hi there,
   Through oxidation it reduces.
   in a process for the production of pure flourenone by oxidation of flourene with air or oxygen at ambient temperature in the presence of a quanternary salt, the improvement which comprises carrying out the reaction in a suspension of flourene or a flourene-containing fraction in an aprotic water immiscible solvent which is primed with an aqueous solution containing 40% by weight of sodium hydroxide, intimately mixing the organic and aqueous phases during the reaction and separating the pure flourenone from the reaction mixture.
