H. Falk et Af. Vaisburg, A NOVEL REACTION OF 11,11,12,12-TETRACYANOANTHRAQUINODIMETHANE - THE FORMATION OF 10-DICYANOMETHYLENE-ANTHRONE HYDRAZONE, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 125(5), 1994, pp. 549-551
A novel reaction of 11,11,12,12-tetracyanoanthraquinodimethane - its t
ransformation into 10-dicyanomethylene-anthrone hydrazone by reaction
with hydrazine - is reported. This hydrazone seems to be a convenient
starting material in the synthesis of anthracene derivatives and compo
unds incorporating anthracenic fragments, but is itself as a conjugate
d donor acceptor system a material with interesting physical propertie
