A straightforward and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-cyanoacrylamide from 2-methylenemalononitriles through monohydration. A series of methylenemalononitriles underwent the reaction under mild and simple reaction conditions wit

A new protocol of cascade synthesis for biologically active 2-cyanoacrylamides (1) was developed. The reaction proceeds over a novel magnetically retrievable solid-acid composite of iron oxide, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and phosphotungstic acid (Fe3O4/PVP–PWA) in AcOH–H2O medium under reflux conditions. This transformation is facilitated through single-site Br?nsted acid catalyzed cascade reactions involving deacetalization and/or Knoevenagel condensation followed by selective monohydration of nitriles starting from acetals (5) and aldehydes (2) with malononitrile (3). A series of aldehydes, dimethyl and diethyl acetals, along with some heterocyclic aldehydes were successfully transformed to 2-cyanoacrylamides with >95 % yields. TEM images confirmed the coating of the PVP over nanosized Fe3O4. Stereoselective monohydration of 2-benzylidenemalononitriles (4) to E isomers was demonstrated by NOESY experiments. The catalyst could be efficiently recycled seven times on employment of both acetals and aldehydes as substrates, as a result of its magnetic nature.

We are the first to report the synthesis of a new class of 2-cyanoarylacrylamide (2-CAA) derivatives and observe that the synthesized 2-CAA shows fluorescence properties due to the formation of a dimeric interaction of hydrogen bonds between carbonyl oxygens and amide hydrogens (C=O?H-N-C=O?H-N?); i.e., dimers are linked through dimeric N-H?O hydrogen bonds. The single-crystal X-ray structure shows molecules to be hydrogen-bonded dimers, which further form a parallel stacking arrangement, mediated by significant π-π interactions. The 1H NMR and fluorescence spectral studies indicate the coexistence of amide and iminol tautomers in solution, which can be influenced by the nature of the solvent. Further, the excitation-wavelength-dependent fluorescence spectrum and the biexponential fluorescence decay profiles suggest the presence of more than one emitting species; i.e., amide and iminol tautomers coexists in solution. We have also shown that the equilibrium between the two tautomers can be tuned by the judicious choice of electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents.
