Mig. Trimino et al., 3-(ACYLAMINO)-3-AMINO-2-NITROACRYLONITRILES FROM ACYL-S-METHYL-3,3-DIAMINO-2-NITROACRYLTHIOIMIDATES, Helvetica Chimica Acta, 76(8), 1993, pp. 2817-2829
Reaction of N-acyl-3.3-diamino-2-nitroacrylthioamides 1 with MeI at ro
om temperature leads to acyl-S-methyl-3,3-diamino-2-nitroacrylthioimid
ates 2 in moderate yields. The latter react with Hg(OAc)2 in DMF yield
ing 3-(acylamino)-3-amino-2-nitroacrylonitriles 8. The structures of 2
a and 8a were established by X-ray crystallography.
