Treatment of some 1,3-diaryl-2-chloropropane-1,3-diones, acyclic chloro-substituted enaminones and β-oxo esters with nucleophiles was shown to proceed easily with the formation, at least in the first stage, of formal nucleophilic substitution products. Treatment of enaminones and β-oxo esters with azide and cyanide ions proceeds with the preservation of the skeleton, whereas chloro-substituted diaroylmethanes undergo retro-Claisen-Claisen condensation reactions in the course of the reaction with cyanide. Dibenzoylchloromethane reacts with azide and cyanide ions with fragmentation of the molecule and subsequent reassembly, resulting in benzoylated benzaldehyde cyanohydrin and a 1,3-oxathiol derivative, respectively.

Sodium dust in benzene brings about an unusual reductive decyanation of β-aminocrotononitrile (1) to afford N-benzoylisopropylamine (2) as the major product, for which a tentative mechanism involving radical addition has been suggested.Benzoylation of β-aryl-β-aminoacrylonitriles (10, 11 and 12), however, under somilar conditions furnish a complex mixture of compounds, namely, β-aryl-β-amino-α-benzoylacrylonitriles (14, 18 and 22), pyrimidines (13, 17 and 21), β-ketonitriles (19, 20 and 23) and benzamide (16) in varying yields but in no case the formation of the corresponding reductive decyanation products have been observed.
