The reaction between 1,1-dicyano-2-phenylallyl anion (potassium salt) (1) and N-1,N-2,N-2-trimethyl-N-1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)amidinium triflate (2a) in acetonitrile was monitored by HPLC. The reaction between the salts was instantaneous, yielding a tetrahedral intermediate (3a) which decomposed within one minute at room temperature, apparently by a first order process, to give N-(4,4-dicyano-3-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl)-N2,2-trimethylpropanamide (5) and dimethylamine (6a). Then, in a higher order process, 5 and 6a react to give 2-(3-dimethylamino-1-phenyl-2-propenylidene)-1,3-propanedinitrile (4a) and N2,2-trimethylpropanamide (7). When the mixture of the two salts (1 and 2a) was quenched (H3O+) immediately after mixing 4a and 7 were the only products. Owing to difficulties in purification and handling of salts 1 and 2, the analytical results of the kinetic runs were considerably scattered. Therefore, the kinetic studies were concentrated on simulation of the latter step, thus the reaction of presynthezised 5 with diethylamine (6b) was used to establish the reaction order. Both conventional and pseudo-first-order kinetics lead to the conclusion that the reaction is of overall third order, first order in amide 5 and second order in diethylamine; the latter molecule adds nucleophilically to the amide to form the Michael adduct, the tetrahedral intermediate 3b, and subsequently acts as a base in the beta-elimination of the adduct.
