HETEROCYCLIZATION REACTIONS USING MALONONITRILE DIMER (2-AMINOPROPENE-1,1,3-TRICARBONITRILE)

Abstract

In this work, we provide the first generalized and critical analysis of data on the chemistry of malononitrile dimer (2-aminopropene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile) – a multifunctional reagent that is widely used for the preparation of diverse heterocyclic systems. The majority of references are from the last 20–25 years.
