Malononitrile → HCID 178509173, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared using 125 mg (0.5 mmol) of 2-[(3-bromophenyl)-hydrazono]malononitrile, which was derived from 3-bromoaniline (172 mg, 1.0 mmol) and malononitrile (1.5 mmol) as. described in Example 8, and hydrazine hydrate. The hydrazine hydrate was added to the solution at a temperature of 75° C. despite the fact that the starting material had not fully dissolved. The solution cleared briefly and then a precipitate formed. The resulting solid was isolated by filtration, washed with ethanol, and dried to yield 93 mg (66%) of the title compound as an orange solid. 1H NMR (ppm, DMSO-d6): 6.2 (br s, 4H), 7.21-7.32 (m, 2H), 7.50-7.62 (m, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 10.71 (s, 1H).
