Pyridyl Dicyanoquinodimethane Acceptors for Electroactive Solids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00018a021

A new synthetic strategy for dicyanoquinodimethane electron acceptors is presented and used to synthesize six such compounds for the first time.The general sequence is substitution of α,α'-dicyanoxylene α anions with electophiles followed by oxidative deh
