Abstract

Reaction of arylmethylenemalonaldehydes with tributylphosphine and tertiary amines affords compounds of dipolar structure whereas reaction with primary and secondary amines leads to 1,4-addition products. Salts of nucleophilic inorganic anions add to arylmethylenemalonaldehydes under formation of salts of substituted malonaldehydes.
