Participants

Reaction Steps

To 22.6 g (0.1 mol) of 1,4-bis-(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine are added by drops 5.31 g (0.1 mol) of acrylonitrile within 30 minutes in an inert atmosphere. The mixture is subsequently stirred for several hours at room temperature. Fractional distillation yields 19.9 g (72%) of 1,4-bis-(trimethylsilyl)-2-(1-cyanoethyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine; b.p. 78°C/0.003 mm; yellow oil.
