Although the chemistry of elusive tricyanomethane (cyanoform) has been studied during a period of more than 150 years, this compound has very rarely been utilized in the synthesis or modification of heterocycles. Three-membered heterocycles, such as epoxides, thiirane, aziridines, or 2H-azirines, are now treated with tricyanomethane, which is generated in situ by heating azidomethylidene-malonodinitrile in tetrahydrofuran at 45 °C or by adding sulfuric acid to potassium tricyanomethanide. This leads to ring expansion with formation of 2-(dicyanomethylidene)oxazolidine derivatives or creation of the corresponding thiazolidine, imidazolidine, or imidazoline compounds and opens up a new access to these push–pull-substituted olefinic products. The regio- and stereochemistry of the ring-enlargement processes are discussed, and the proposed reaction mechanisms were confirmed by using 15N-labeled substrates. It turns out that different mechanisms are operating; however, tricyanomethanide is always acting as a nitrogen-centered nucleophile, which is quite unusual if compared to other reactions of this species.

The reaction of ω-chloroalkyl isocyanates Cl(CH2) nNCO (n = 2 (2), 3 (4)) and isothiocyanate Cl(CH2) 2-NCS (3) with active methylene compounds CH2YY′ 1 in the presence of Et3N or Na give 2-YY′-methylene-1,3- oxazolidines, (E,Z)-1,3-thiazolidines, and 1,3-oxazines from 2, 3, and 4, respectively. 2-(Chloromethyl)-phenyl isocyanate 8 gives with 1 the corresponding benzo-oxazines. Ethyl 2-isothiocyanatobenzoate 10 gives the corresponding benzothiazolinone, whereas the analogous isocyanate 12 gives noncyclic enols. Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate 14 gives an open-chain thioenol or an enol-thioamide. The cyanoamides CH2(CN)CONHR, R = H, Me, CHPh2, give with Et3N and 2 the bicyclic imidazopyrimidinediones 16, derived from two molecules of 2, but with their preformed Na salt they give the 1,3-oxazolidines. Reaction of cyanoacetamide with 3 in the presence of Na gave a tricyclic triaza(thia)indacene, derived from two molecules of 3. A reaction mechanism involving an initial attack of the anion 1- on the N=C=X (X = O, S) moiety gives an anion 18, which cyclizes intramolecularly and after tautomerization gives the mono-ring heterocycle. With the cyanoamides, the N- site of the ambident ion 18 attacks another molecule of 2 giving the anion 20, which by intramolecular attack on the CN, followed by expulsion of the Cl- gives the bicyclic 16 after tautomerization.
