Cycloalk-2-enes and cycloalk-2-ene-dienes are found to be Michael acceptors which react with tosylmethylisocyanide to form bicyclo fused-ring compounds. A wide variety of substituents may be introduced on the alkylene ring with the aid of the carbonyl group(s) on the fused-ring compound. These carbonyl-containing bicyclo fused-ring compounds may be reduced to provide monomers which may be electrodeposited as substituted polypyrroles ("PP") which are electrically conductive, compactable and extrudable organic polymers. By choice of substituents on the alkylene ring which bridges the 3- and 4- carbon atoms of the pyrrole ring, the PP may be tailored for use either as a semiconductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10. sup. -5 to about 10. sup. -2 S/cm, or a relatively good conductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10. sup.

A non-catalytic process converts oligomers of polyarylene polyethers (PAPE) having a mol wt Mn in the range from 1000 to about 10,000 to difunctionalized oligomers so as, in the first instance, to provide a reactive double bond (for example, a vinylbenzyl group) at each end of the PAPE; and, in the second instance to provide a triple bond (benzylethynyl group) at each end of the PAPE. The solubility of intermediate bisphenolates of (i) a dihydric phenol, and of (ii) the PAPE oligomer in particular solvents which allow (a) water of reaction to be removed without being degraded, and (b) essentially complete end-capping of the oligomer chains with vinyl chain ends, are the keys to the novel process. The PAPE most preferably has a repeating unit which is the residuum of two dihydric phenols or thiophenols ("DHP") linked through a C. dbd. O, --S--S--, or --SO. sub.

Organic polymers which are "hydroxyphenyl-substituted" and "ether-substituted" polypyrroles ("PP") linked through N-adjacent C atoms, are disclosed which are compactable, extrudable and are also electrical conductors. When such PPs are prepared by electrochemical deposition with an appropriate electrolyte, they are also soluble in commonly available solvents, provided at least one of the 3- or 4- positions of the pyrrole nucleus is substituted with a substituent having either a hydroxyphenyl, or an ether structure. By choice of the hydroxyphenyl and/or ether substituent on one of the substitutable positions (3- or 4-) of the pyrrole nucleus, or both, the PP may be tailored for use either as a semiconductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10. sup. -5 to about 10. sup. -2 S/cm, or a relatively good conductor having a conductivity in the range from about 10. sup.
