Abstract

Abstract The major products of reactions of the terephthalonitrile radical anion with α, ω- dibromoalkanes Br (CH 2) n Br (n= 3–5) were 4-(ω-bromoalkyl) benzonitriles. Analogous reactions of the terephthalonitrile dianion mainly yielded α, ω-bis (4-cyanophenyl) alkanes. Both transformations are convenient one-step routes to otherwise not easily accessible compounds that are valuable as versatile building blocks. The results of alkylation allow ...
