ChemInform Abstract: Metathesis of Azomethine Imines in Reaction of 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes with (Het)arylidenemalononitriles

Ring opening in 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes gives cyclic azomethine imines which are prone to exchange of arylidene moiety with (het)arylidenemalononitriles to form the metathesis products being new azomethine imines. These species were fixed as pyrazolines due to the 1,4-H shift or trapped by dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or CS2.
