Propynal hydrazones are successfully converted to the corresponding 3-aminoacrylonitriles in the presence of copper catalysts in good to high yields. As an example, (Z)-N-(hex-2-ynylidene)morpholin-4-amine reacted in the presence of 10 mol % Cu(OAc)2 in acetonitrile at 25 °C to afford (E)-3-morpholinohex-2-enenitrile ((E)-2 h) in 77% yield via C-N bond formation and subsequent β-elimination involving cleavage of N-N and C-H bonds.

The E/Z photoisomerization of 3-phenyl-3-(N-substituted amino)- and 3-phenyl-3-(N,N-disubstituted amino)-prop-2-enenitriles was investigated by means of u.v. and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy.Informative results on the mechanism of the reaction produced by direct irradiation of 3-anilino-3-phenylprop-2-enenitrile were obtained from the different effects of quenchers and heavy atoms.Neither the heavy atoms nor the quenchers had any effect on direct photoisomerisation, which involves only the singlet state, by-passing the triplet state.
