Amm. Rawashdeh et al., One-step synthesis and redox properties of dodecahydro-3a,9a-diazaperylene- the most easily oxidized p-phenylenediamine, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1742-1743
Dodecahydro-3a,9a-diazaperylene (DHDAP) was prepared in one step from p-phe
nylenediamine and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane, and its first redox potential is
292 mV more negative than the first redox potential of N,N,N',N'-tetrameth
yl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), thus becoming the most easily oxidized p-phen
ylenediamine homologue.
