Research Abstract |
Dispiro[2.2.2.2]deca-4,9-diene was subjected to vapor phase pyrolysis above 450゚C, and the pyrolyzed gas was condensed on a glass surface at 20゚C to give poly(1,4-phenylene-1,2-dimethylethylene) as a colorless transparent film in 10-20% yield. The pyrolyzed product of dispiro[2.2.2.2]deca-4,9-diene was absorbed in hexane at -78゚C, and the solution was reacted with chlorine at -78゚C to yield 1,4-bis(1-chloroethyl) benzene, supporting the diradical intermediate, 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene) diethyl diradical, generated in the vapor phase pyrolysis of dispiro[2.2.2.2]deca-4,9-diene is subject to isomerization to give 7,8-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinodimethane which, when condensed, polymerized spontaneously to give the film of poly(1,4-phenylene-1,2-dimethylethylene). This result was thought to be the first case for ring-opening and isomerization polymerization of dispiropropane compound.
