Abstract
A powerful new one-pot method has been developed for the reductive alkylation of malononitrile with aromatic aldehydes. This new procedure has vastly improved the yield and efficiency of the process, and increased the scope of the aromatic aldehydes. Incorporating water as the catalyst in ethanol for the condensation step allows stoichiometric amounts of malononitrile and aldehyde to be employed. The reduction step takes place quickly and efficiently with sodium borohydride to give monosubstituted malononitriles via filtration or extraction. The product from 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde quickly rearranges to a novel indolizine, while alkylation of the monosubstituted derivative provides an unsymmetrically disubstituted malononitrile that does not rearrange.
