Stir 100 g (470 mmol) of benzoin, 62.25 g (940 mmol) of malononitrile and 47.68 g (470 mmol) of triethylamine at RT in 1345 ml of DMF overnight. Add a further 41 g (620 mmol) of malononitrile and stir the mixture at RT for another 24 h. Then add ethyl acetate and water and extract the aqueous phase twice with ethyl acetate. Dry the combined organic phases over magnesium sulphate and concentrate them under reduced pressure. After column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: dichloromethane→dichloromethane/methanol 98:2), 120 g (97.9% of theory) of the title compound are obtained as yellowish solid.
