Preparation and Structure of Di-p-Xylylene
Abstract
POLYMERIZATION products from p-xylene have been shown to contain, inter alia, a hitherto undescribed hydrocarbon, the novel structure of which has been determined solely by X-ray diffraction to be tricyclo [8: 2: 2: 24:7] hexadeca-4: 6: 10: 12 (1): 13: 15-hexaene. We propose as a suitable trivial name `di-p-xylylene'.
