A Novel Synthesis of 3-Aryl-2,6-dicyano-5-methylanilines via Reaction between Nitrostyrenes and Malononitrile
摘要:
A novel and simple synthesis of 3-aryl-2,6-dicyano-5-methylanilines is described. Reactions between nitrostyrenes and excess malononitrile in the presence of sodium carbonate in 80% ethanol proceeded at room temperature to afford the aromatic products in good yields. A mechanism for the formation of the products is proposed.
