Quinodimethane electron-accepting

This article surveys the polymerization of quinodimethanes including flash pyrolysis of p-xylene, the synthesis of poly-p-xylylene other than by flash pyrolysis, the vapor-coating process by Gorham, and the polymerizations of halo-p-xylylenes and electron-accepting quinodimethanes.

Derivatizing Cjq with a strong acceptor, such as the tetracyanoquinodimethane 231 yields organofullerenes that can accept up to eight electrons in solution [263, 278]. The acceptor ability of the quinodimethane moiety in the fullerene adduct is... 

Pyrazine derivatives have also served as precursors for quinoxalines in acceptable yields under MWI in solvent-free conditions through the reaction of pyrazine o-quinodimethane intermediates with electron-rich dienophiles. Thus, 2,3-bis...
