The properties of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine, which possesses excellent reducibility, were investigated. The synthesis of benzyl malononitriles and anilines were also studied. Direct reductive benzylizations of malononitrile and 4-methylaniline by aromatic aldehydes were achieved using a Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine as the reductant. It was observed that there is no need for the separation of the in situ generated benzylidene malononitriles and p-tolylamines.
