23. We had observed that a reaction of 4 (23.4 mg, 0.0206 mmol) with tetracyanethylene (TCNE) (11.8 mg, 0.092 mmol) in THF solution (2 ml) resulted in the formation of ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylpropenoate (0.011 mmol, 52%), benzalomalononitrile (0.0012 mmol, 12%) and ethyl 2,3,3-tricyano-propenoate (0.0021 mmol, 10%). Although formation of 1,1-dicyano-2-phenylethylene and ethyl 2,3,3-tricyanopropenoate can be regarded as a formal olefin metathesis of TCNE with ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylpropenoate [17], this reaction actually proceeded in the absence of Re complexes. It is known that hydrolysis of TCNE gives malononitrile and dicyanoketone. Michael reaction of the generated malononitrile with ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-phenylpropenoate followed by the elimination of ethyl cyanoacetate gives 1,1-dicyano-2-phenylethylene. The resulting ethyl cyanoacetate successively reacts with TCNE to yield ethyl 2,3,3-tricyanopropenoate and malononitrile [18]. All these reactions were independently determined.
