Abstract

Dicyanobenzene-1, 4 (1) and-1, 2 are known to undergo substitution upon irradiation, in the presence of an olefin, in acetonitrile-methanol (3: 1) solution. The products are 1: 1: 1 (methanol: olefin: aromatic) adducts, substituted on the aromatic ring with loss of a cyano group. This reaction, referred to as the photo-NOCAS (nucleophile-olefin combination, aromatic substitution) reaction, has been shown to be fairly general with regard to the ...
