3,3,4,4-Tetracyanoalkanones as expedient reagents for utilization of N,N-dimethylhydrazine

Abstract

To utilize N,N-dimethylhydrazine, the corresponding +formaldehyde hydrazone was reacted with 1,1,2,2-tetra-cyanoethane or 3,3,4,4-tetracyanoalkanones. The first process yielded 5-amino-1-dimethylamino-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrole-3,3,4-tricarbonitrile while the second afforded pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolone multifunctional derivatives. These resultant products hold promise in molecular design and pharmaceutical chemistry.
