Abstract

The reactions of 9-fluorenylidenemalononitrile (FDCN) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2, 2- dicyanoethylene (DPCN) with Hantzsch ester (HEH), N-methyl Hantzsch ester (Me-HEH), and 1-benzyl-1, 4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) in oxygen-saturated acetonitrile have been studied. The aerobic reactions with HEH give solely reduction products. However, reactions with Me-HEH and BNAH not only result in reduction products, but also give varying ...
