The Chemistry of Acrylonitrile. II. Reactions with Ketones

Abstract: The powerful cyanoethylating action of acrylonitrile in the presence of strong bases upon organic compounds possessing labile hydrogen atoms1 is strikingly evident with various types of ketones.Aromatic methyl ketones of the type R-CO-CHS as exemplified by acetophenone, ^-methylacetophenone, p-methoxyacetophenone, p-chloroacetophenone, p-bromoacetophenone, ^-acetyldiphenyl, and 2-acetylnaphthalene readily took up three molecular equivalents of acrylonitrile in the presence of strong alkali catalysts such as tr… Show more

“…The compound 11 which can be considered the first generation dendrimer with cyano end groups has already been known from literature [33] though its structural data had to be complemented. It corresponded well to our measurements (NMR, MS, IR) anyway (Figure 4, Experimental).…”

“…The double addition of acrylonitrile on 3-phenylpropan-2-one under basic conditions yielded, after recrystallisation, 3-acetyl-1,5-dicyano-3-phenylpentane (7). [21] Hydrolysis of the nitrile functions was performed under aqueous basic conditions to obtain the diacid 8 in 72 % yield. [21] The formation of the cyclohexanone ring was achieved by heating 8 in acetic anhydride to form a cyclic anhydride intermediate, which was further thermolyzed at 250 8C to yield the functionalized cyclohexanone 9 after distillation.…”
