The final product from the transformations of 10-vinylphenothiazine (I) under the influence of catalytic amounts of halogenoquinones are phenothiazine-containing polyenes and phenothiazine.As illustrated by the reaction of 10-vinylphenothiazine with chloranil, it was demonstrated that nucleophilic substitution of the halogen in the ring of the quinone can occur with the formation of previously unknow 2--3,5,6-trichlorobenzoquinone and 2,5-bis-3,6-dichlorobenzoquinone and the elimination of hydrogen chloride.Itis suggested that the hydrogen halide formed in the reaction mixture causes cationic polymerization of the monomer (I) followed by elimination of phenothiazine trom the more basic homopolymer.
