Procedure

A 3-liter glass vessel was charged with 250 g of 1,3-butadiene and 500 ml of n-hexane, and with vigorous stirring, 500 g of bromine was added dropwise at -15 to -25° C. over 6 hours to give 310 g of 1,4-dibromobutene-2. Furthermore, a 3-liter glass vessel was charged with 800 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 92 g of malononitrile, 325 g of silver oxide and 300 g of the 1,4-dibromobutene-2. These compounds were reacted by the method described in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 88 (9), 1979 (1966) to give 51 g of 1,1-dicyano-2-vinylcyclopropane.
