✦ Synopsis

Substitution of benzylic H by the title compound (BTF) gives rise to products with -CH(CF3)2 terminus exclusively; an intermediate benzylic ion pair results from hydride transfer. Instead of ion recombination, proton transfer may be the concluding step generating dehydrogenation products and 2,2-bis(triiuoromethyl)ethane-l , 1 -dicarbonitrile.

The effects of substituents and solvent variation on the rate constants are in harmony with a concerted cycloaddition. In the preceding communication we described reactions of 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethylene-1 ,I-dicarbonitrile (BTF; 1) with styrenes 2 2. By rapid reversible Diels-Alder additions w
