In the reaction of tetracyanoquinodimethane with methyl derivatives of aromatic compounds at elevated temperatures, 1,4-bis(dicyanomethyl)benzene and diarylethanes are formed in addition to the normal products from 1,6-addition in the quinoid system of quinodimethane ArCH2C(CN)2C6H4CH(CN)2.Acenaphthene is dehydrogenated by tetracyanoquinodimethane to acenaphthylene.
