Abstract

EDA-complex formation and 1, 4-cycloaddition of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) with styrene, α- methylstyrene, 1, 1-diphenylethylene, cis-stilbene, and trans-stilbene were studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform at 25° C. Formation constants of the EDA complexes were found to be in the order, trans-stilbene> styrene> α-methylstyrene> cis-stilbene> 1, 1- diphenylethylene. The difference in the formation constants was discussed in terms of ...
