Malononitrile → HCID 178491242, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared using 100 mg (0.5 mmol) of 2-[(3-methoxyphenyl)-hydrazono]malononitrile, which was derived from m-anisidine (112 μL, 1.0 mmol) and malononitrile (1.5 mmol) as described in Example 8, and hydrazine hydrate. Precipitate formed in the reaction tube approximately 10 min after the addition of hydrazine hydrate. The resulting solid was isolated by filtration, recrystallized from ethanol, and dried to yield 25 mg (22%) of the title compound as a brownish orange solid.
