Abstract
An economical way to obtain new monomers, precursors of electron transfer p olymers, is described. These monomers were obtained by a Heck reaction betw een amino or halogeno-2,5-dimethoxydiarylmethane and methylacrylate. Differ ent routes for the ionic reduction of various acetophenones to the correspo nding diarylmethanes were studied. The yields and the nature of the by-prod ucts was stongly dependent upon the reaction conditions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
