Abstract

A scheme for the unusually ready selective hydrolysis of three of the cyano groups in 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethane to 2-cyanoethane-1,1,2-tricarboxamide by the action of pyruvic acid was proposed. Only one cyano group undergoes hydrolysis in the reaction with sodium pyruvate. In the course of this reaction, 2-amino-5-methyl-3, 4-dicyano-4,5-dihydrofuran-4,5-dicarboximide, the structure of which was determined by X-ray diffraction investigation of the monocrystal, is formed.
