The reaction of tetracyanoethylene oxide on one hand and toluene, chlorobenzene, fluorobenzene, anisole, and nitrobenzene, on the other, has been studied.Toluene and the halogenobenzenes yield mixtures of monoadducts, anisole yield p-methoxyphenylmalononitrile and its dimer and nitrobenzene does not react.These results are discussed with the help of a qualitative orbital model. 1H-NMR analysis of some monoadducts has been carried out.Keywords: Benzene derivatives; Tetracyanoethylene oxide; 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition.
