Cyanoacetaldehyde ? New synthetic applications of an old compound syntheses with nitriles, XCI
摘要:
Various reactions of cyanoacetaldehyde (1), freshly prepared by ozonization of (E)-1,4-dicyano-2-butene or allylcyanide, are described. Thus, conversion of 1 with anilines gave beta-phenylaminoacrylonitriles 2a-e. Reaction of 1 with hydrazines led to the corresponding hydrazones 3a-e, which could be cyclized under alkaline conditions to 5-aminopyrazoles 4a-d. An aldol-type condensation product 5a could be obtained by reaction of 1 with sodiumphenoxide. Treatment of 1 with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal led to the formation of (E)-3-dimethylamino-2-formylpropenenitrile (6), a very useful synthon in synthetic chemistry. For the determination of the structure of 6 the method of steady state differential NOEs was used. Reaction of 6 with hydrazines gave 1-substituted-4-cyanopyrazoles 7a-k.

We describe a photocatalytic system that reveals latent photooxidant behavior from one of the most reducing conventional photoredox catalysts, N-phenylphenothiazine (PTH). This aerobic photochemical reaction engages difficult to oxidize feedstocks, such as benzene, in C(sp2)–N coupling reactions through direct oxidation. Mechanistic studies are consistent with activation of PTH via photooxidation and
