<Jeffrey M. Robertson> used model reactions to investigate intermediates in liquid-crystal <polymer> synthesis. Trapping experiments with secondary <amines> supported formation of a quinoid <ketene> through <E1cb elimination>, connecting a proposed intermediate with an observable product.<Model experiments implicate a benzoquinoneketene intermediate in LCP synthesis by Jeffrey M.
