An efficient and clean synthesis of aromatic tricyanovinyl compounds from nucleophilic reagent and tetracyanoethylene has been achieved using biocatalyst and deep eutectic solvent (DES). Reaction using biocatalyst and DES requires lesser reaction time than conventional method. The advantages of the present method are ambient reaction temperature, easy isolation of the product, higher yield, recyclability of the catalyst, and reactions without use of hazardous, volatile organic solvent. The DES as well as biocatalyst were recycled efficiently without any additional treatment. Synthesized compounds were also studied for UV-vis absorption and show solvatochromism.
