Abstract
Octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (AF4) has been oxidized by treatment with HIO3 in CF3CO2H to form the corresponding p-quinone along with a unique triketone. This quinone undergoes reduction to the respective hydroquinone as well as a Diels-Alder reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Its reduction potential was obtained by cyclic voltammetry and is discussed in the context of other quinones.
