Abstract
2,5-Substituted 3,3,4,4-tetracyanopyrrolidines react with primary alcohols in the presence of an excess of a base or with the base itself. 2-(N-Arylideneamino)-5-alkoxy-3,4-dicyanopyrroles are formed as a result of the reactions with alcohols, and 2,5-diamino-1-R-3,4-dicyanopyrroles are formed as the result of the reaction with primary aliphatic amines.
