α,β-Unsaturated compounds containing aldehyde, ketone, nitrile and ester functional groups are versatile precursor for the synthesis of novel organic molecules. All these compounds undergo Michael addition of carbon and other nucleophiles at b-carbon atom of the a,b-unsaturated system. Different carbo- and hetero-cyclic compounds can be synthesized by varying the conditions of cyclisation of the Michael adducts. In this context, it is planned to synthesize pyrazole derivatives and diazepine derivatives by reacting a,b-unsaturated compounds with different Nitrogen nucleophiles such as, o-phenylenediamine etc. The present investigation reports the unexpected hydrogenation of C=C in a,b-unsaturated nitriles and the unexpected synthesis of azine derivatives from a,b-unsaturated nitrileand hydrazinium sulphate.
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.
