Abstract: | A film forming polyester was obtained from the title compound and 1,4-butanediol. In addition oxidation of the title compound gave rise to 7,8-dicarbomethoxy-7,8-diphenylquinodimethane as a mixture of Z and E isomers. The 1H-NMR and the electronic characterization of this polymer are discussed. The quinodimethane will undergo 1,6-nucleophilic addition to form an aromatic compound. |
