-126Condensation of Dichloromethyleniminium Chloride with Alkylidenemalononitriles or Alkylidenecyanoacetates.-Condensation of the title compound (II) with malonodinitriles, e.g. (I) , easily yields the new compounds (III), which are stable in neutral aqueous solution, due to their stabilizing push-pull conjugation. They undergo chlorine substitution by various nucleophilic reagents, e.g. to (V) with inversion of configuration, and heterocyclization reactions, e.g. to (VI) and, with loss of malononitrile, to (VIII) and (IX). Condensation of (II) with alkylidenecyanoacetates (X) is also accomplished, yielding new pyrones of type (XII) by immediate cyclization of the intermediates (XI), while condensation with the corresponding malonodiesters does not take place under these conditions. -(BOUVY, D.; JANOUSEK, Z.; VIEHE, H.
