Tetranuclear aromatic diamines were prepared on the basis of bis-phenols derived from 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-di-(p-methoxyphenyl)-ethane under the action of pyridine hydrochloride [26, 27]. Interaction of the bis-phenols with two-fold molar amounts of p-nitrochlorobenzene led to the formation of 4,4 -bis(/ -nitrophenoxy [-arylenes, which were reduced to the corresponding 4,4 -bis(/ -aminophenoxy[-arylenes [28] (Scheme 2.11). Similar compounds containing two additional amino groups were prepared by the interaction of 3,3 -dinitro-4,4 -dichlorobenzophenone with two-fold molar amounts of potassium p-nitrophenolate [29] followed by reduction of the tetranitro compounds thus formed [29] (Scheme 2.12).
