Abstract
(E) 2-Cyano-3-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-propenoyl chloride (2) underwent mono- and binucleophilic displacement with hydrazines, amines, ureas, and aromatic bifunction amines to give new 2-propenoyl hydrazines (4 and 5), 2-propenoylamide (6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21), and 2-thiol propenoate (22-24). Some of these products were cyclized to give novel heterocyclic derivatives (8, 10, 14, 16, and 20).
