Abstract: | The products of the addition of tetracyanoethylene to ketones react smoothly with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic aldehydes to give 4,8,8-tricyano-3-imino-2, 6-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. The structures of the reaction products were confirmed by 13C, IR, and mass spectral data.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1462–1466, November, 1984. |
