Abstract: | Summary The reaction of malononitrile with -chloro acetanilides1 in presence of potassium carbonate yields the 1-aryl-5-oxo- 2-pyrrolin-3-carbonitriles2, in presence of triethylamine the 4,6-diamino-1-aryl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydropyrrolo2,3-b]pyridin-5-carbonitriles3 are formed. From 2-chloroacetylamino-benzencarbonitrile and malononitrile the 5-amino-1-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrrolo1,2-a]chinazolin-3-carbonitrile (4) arise. Analogously from the 2-chloroacetylamino-thiophen-3-carbonitries5 the 7,8-dihydro-thieno3,2-e]pyrrolo1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives6 are obtainable. Hydrolysis of2 a by treatment with hydroxide or acid, respectively, yields the 1,1,2-ethanetricarboxylic acid and derivatives9 a,b. Phenyldiazonium salt reacts with2 to form the triazene 7 only. |
