Malononitrile → HCID 178420918, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared using 131 mg (0.5 mmol) of 2-[(3-phenoxyphenyl)-hydrazono]malononitrile, which was derived from 3-phenoxyaniline (185 mg, 1.0 mmol) and malononitrile (1.5 mmol) as described in Example 8, and hydrazine hydrate. Precipitate formed in the reaction tube approximately 5 min after the addition of hydrazine hydrate. The resulting solid was isolated by filtration, recrystallized from ethanol, and dried to yield 87 mg (59%) of the title compound as a mustard coloured solid.
