Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01169360

By the reaction of 4-nitro-1,2-phenylenediamine with 1-(p-R-phenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)propenones, Michael adducts with a 1:2 composition have been obtained. A stagewise scheme is proposed for the formation of these compounds. The structure of one of the products has been established by means of x-ray structure analysis. 1996 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
