N-Vinylformamide (VFA), the simplest member of the enamide group, is the key compound in the synthesis of linear cationic polymers with primary amino groups. In recent decades VFA has been the object of intensive research activity in industry and in universities with the aim of developing an economic method of synthesis. The various principles underlying the synthesis are described and the possibilities for their industrial realisation are discussed. From the large number of methods two variants have now been established as industrial production procedures at BASF and Mitsubishi Kasei Corp. (MKC). VFA is now available in tonne quantities in high purity. An overview of the versatile reaction possibilities of this multifunctional monomer and an extensive list of references are also given. The radical polymerisation to polyvinylformamides and their further reaction to polyvinylamines are not covered in this review.

Chemistry of α-Aminonitriles I: Introduction and Pathways to Uroporphyrinogen-octanitriles.An introduction to experimental studies on the chemistry of α-aminonitriles potentially relevant to the problems of prebiotic chemistry is presented.The framework of conditions wherein the investigations is chosen to be carried out implies both molecular oxygen and - whenever feasible - water to be excluded from reaction conditions.This study focusses on 2-amino-2-propenenitrile (3) (Scheme 6) as central starting material of reaction sequences which aim at the nitrile forms of proteinogenic amino acids as well as at the aza forms of building blocks of biological cofactor molecules as their targets (Scheme 5).Schemes 13, 16, 23 as well as 25, and 26 summarize reaction sequences by which 3 is tranformed within the definied framework of conditions into the thermodynamic (statistically controlled) mixture of the four isomeric uroporphyrinogen-octanitriles 57-60.HPLC's of such mixtures document the dominance of the least symmetrical isomer whose constitutional pattern of peripheral substituents happens to be the one present in all biological porphinoids.Preparative procedures for the synthesis of 3 (Scheme 9), the β,β-disubstututed pyrrol-nitriles 30, 53, and 54 (Scheme 19) as well as the porphyrinogen-octakis(propionitrile) and -octakis(acetonitrile) 65 and 66, respectively (Scheme 24) are given.
