The reactions and isomerism of β-aminocrotononitrile and the reaction of aromatic grignard reagents with β-aminocrotononitrile.
As early as 1848, Frankland and Kolbe (26) observed the reaction of propionitrile with metallic sodium in the absence of a solvent. The reaction products were sodium cyanide, ethane, and an organic base which they named cyanoethene (I). The structure of (I) was elucidated by Ernst von Meyer (41) in...

| Summary: | As early as 1848, Frankland and Kolbe (26) observed the reaction of propionitrile with metallic sodium in the absence of a solvent. The reaction products were sodium cyanide, ethane, and an organic base which they named cyanoethene (I). The structure of (I) was elucidated by Ernst von Meyer (41) in 1889, and was shown to be a derivative of aminopyrimidine. In 1869, A.G. Bayer (6,7) investigated the behavior of acetonitrile toward metallic sodium under similar conditions. |
