Initial 1-nitro-2-phenylethene (I), 1-(p-chloro-
phenyl)-2-nitroethene (II), and 1-nitro-2-(p-tolyl)-
ethene (III) were prepared according to the procedures
reported in [34 37]. 1,1-Dinitro-2-arylethenes IV VI
were synthesized by improved procedures [6, 7].

1,1-Dinitro-2-phenylethene (IV). A solution of
17 ml of dinitrogen tetraoxide in 14 ml of anhydrous
carbon tetrachloride was added to a suspension of
4.00 g of 1-nitro-2-phenylethene (I) in 26 ml of an-
hydrous carbon tetrachloride, and the mixture was left
to stand for 7 days at 16 18 C. Excess nitrating agent
and the solvent were evaporated in the cold, the oily
residue was treated with propan-2-ol, and the pre-
cipitate was filtered off. Yield 4.16 g (79%), light
yellow crystals, mp 93 94 C (from anhydrous carbon
tetrachloride); published data: mp 94 95 C (from
CCl4), yield 39% [6], 42.5% [7]. Found, %: C 49.60,
49.58; H 3.14, 3.12; N 14.40, 14.42. C8H6N2O4.
Calculated, %: C 49.48; H 3.09; N 14.43.
