electrochemical generation and characterisation of a variety of o-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) are described together with the outcome of preparative experiments in which they are key intermediates. The quinodimethanes are conveniently formed, in DMF, by both direct and redox-catalysed electroreduction of 1,2-bis(halomethyl)arenes. Their predominant reaction is polymerisation to poly(o-xylylene) (o-PX) polymers
