Na2S$9H2O (0.05 mol) was suspended in DMF (98 mL)
and stirred at 40 ꢀC for 30 min. After that time, the corre-
sponding b-chloroacrylonitriles 1(aeh) (0.05 mol) were
added. The mixture is heated at 55 ꢀC for 90 min and left to
reach room temperature. Bromonitromethane (0.05 mol) was
slowly dropped at room temperature and left to stir at 55 ꢀC
for another 90 min. The reaction was followed by TLC [n-hex-
ane/ethyl acetate (3:1)] and once finished NaOH (0.05 mol) in
water (10 mL) was added and left to stir 30 min at the same
temperature. The mixture was poured onto water (500 mL)

water, dried at room temperature until constant weight and
purified by recrystallization or column chromatography.
