Abstract

Literature reports on the reactivity of dicyanoacetylene (I) and its reaction products are noteworthy for their paucity. Only the addition of hydrogen chloride, ammonia, some amines, and the Diels-Alder reaction with cyclopentadiene2 have been reported. More recently it has been shown that dicyanoacetylene exhibited an exceptional reactivity as an acetylenic dienophile toward a number of 3, 4-negatively substituted furan deri~ atives.~ Its nature as ...
