Abstract

The reaction of 5-nitrofurfuryl bromide or 5-nitrofurfuryl iodide with sodium azide and malonodinitrile afforded 5-aminofurfurylidenemalonodinitrile. The intermediate of the reaction is 5-nitrofurfuryl azide which decomposes to give 5-nitrofurfurylideneamine. Its reaction with malonodinitrile gives 5-nitrofurfurylidenemalonodinitrile which reacts further with sodium azide and malonodinitrile to give 5-aminofurfurylidenemalonodinitrile.
