Abstract

2-Alkoxy-2-alkenenitriles 2 are versatile synthetic intermediates which have served, for example. as donor-acceptor substituted olefins for free radical reactions ', as intermediates in a one-carbon homologation of carbonyl compoundsz. and also as ketene equivalents3. In studies directed towards the development of novel cycloaddition reagents, we have investigated the preparation of various oz-cyanovinyl ethers. The compounds were also ...
