NEW MATERIAL:A compound of formulaI(Z2, Z3, Z6 and Z7 are H, halogen, 1W 8C alkyl, phenyl, 1W8C alkylphenyl, etc.; Z1, Z4, Z5 and Z8 are H, chloro, oxy or amino).
EXAMPLE: 11,11,12,12-Tetracyano-9,10-anthraquinodimethane.
USE: Derivatives, electrical conductors, resistors or thermistor materials or raw materials for photovoltaic materials.
PROCESS: p-Benzoquinone is subjected to the Diels-Alder reaction with butadiene or a derivative thereof, and the reaction product is then subjected to the hydrogen halide addition and hydrogenation to give dodecahydro-9,10-anthraquinone. The O atom of the ketone group in the resultant product is substituted by a group of formula II and then dehydrogenated to afford the aimed compound of formulaIor a derivative thereof.
