Reactions of 5-Aryl-4-acyl-3-hydroxy-1-cyanomethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with Aromatic Amines

摘要

Reactions of 5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-1-cyanomethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with aromatic amines in glacial acetic acid afforded 5-aryl-3-arylamino-4-aroyl-1-cyanomethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones and 5-aryl-4-[aryl(arylamino)-methylene]-1-cyanomethyltetrahydropyrrole-2,3-diones. In the case of 5-aryl-4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1-cyanomethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones the reactions led to the formation of 5-aryl-4-(1-arylaminomethylene)-1-cyanomethyltetrahy-dropyrrole-2,3-dione.
