Abstract
AbstractCoupling of benzyl bromide giving 1,2‐diphenylethane was demonstrated to proceed at room temperature in THF solution mediated by the potassium/18‐crown‐6 supramolecular complex. Based on this model reaction a novel method for the low temperature synthesis of poly(p‐xylylene) from α,α′‐dibromo‐p‐xylene is proposed. Experimental evidence of the polymer structure was provided by solid‐state 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy.
