Reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with tetracyanoethylene

Abstract

Reaction of tetracyanoethylene with α,β-unsaturated ketones was investigated. 3-R 1-4-R 2-6-R 3-5-oxo-1,1,2,2-cyclohexanetetracarbonitriles, unsaturated tetracyanoalkanones, 3-R-5,5-dihydroxy-1,1,2,2-cyclohexanetetracarbonitriles, 1,2,2-tricyano-3-R-5-oxo-1-cyclohexanecarboxamides, 3-R 1-4-R 2-8-R 3-5-hydroxy-7-oxo-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-1,2,2-tricarbonitriles were synthesized.
