13. Simultaneous reaction of malononitrile, dimethylaniline and selenium dioxide: selenium dioxide 0.44 g (4 mmol) was added with stirring to solution of malononitrile 0.13 g (2 mmol) and dimethylaniline 0.48 g (4 mmol) in DMSO (4 mL). The reaction mixture rapidly became dark-red in colour and after 10 min it was diluted with water, the resulting crude precipitate was filtered, dried and separated by preparative thin-layer chromatography on alumina (hexane-ethyl acetate 3:1). Compounds 2b and 7 were isolated as individual substances in 0.07 g (6%) and 0.36 g (56%) amounts; attempts to separate compounds 8 and 9 were unsuccessful, their structures were established by mass-spectral data.
