A series of aryldiazonium tetrafluorborates dissolved in nitriles have been converted into the corresponding anilides in almost quantitative yield in 1 min by microwave irradiation. When bromoacetonitrile was used, 2,4-bis(bromophenyl)-quinazoline was formed. The reaction of malononitrile with the diazonium salt, in DMF as a solvent, afforded 2-(dimethylaminomethylene) malononitrile and phenylhydrazone propanedinitrile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
