Abstract

Nitroacetonitrile (NAN) serves as a cyano(nitro)methylating agent facilitating the construction of polyfunctionalized compounds; however, its explosive property is a significant drawback in terms of practical handling. Alkali metal salts of NAN are thermally stable, but their insolubility in organic solvents restricts their use as a synthetic reagents. On the contrary, dipyrrolidinium cyano-aci-nitroacetate is soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable, allowing for its use as an alternative synthetic equivalent of nitroacetonitrile for the construction of polyfunctionalized frameworks via cyano(nitro)methylation.
