The multifaceted reactivity of o-fluoranil.
In addition to Diels-Alder and hetero-Diels-Alder reactions, tetrafluoro-o-benzoquinone (o-fluoranil) undergoes nucleophilic additions, addition-eliminations, dioxole formation, and charge-transfer complexation, reacting at every site on the molecular skeleton. It also effects dehydrogenations and other oxidations. The quinone can function as a (CF)(4) synthon.
