General description
Malononitrile, a weak cyanocarbon acid, is a versatile compound with exceptional reactivity. This crystalline aliphatic nitrile is used as a building block to synthesize heterocyclic compounds and polymers
Application
Malononitrile may be used in the:
- base-promoted on-water synthesis of [1,6]-naphthyridines.†
- synthesis of γ-ketoamides.
- preparation of heterocyclic privileged medicinal scaffolds involving pyridine, 1,4-dihydropyridine, chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine and dihydro-1,4-dithiepine frameworks.

Electron transfer reactions are arguably the simplest chemical reactions but they have not yet ceased to intrigue chemists. Charge-separation and charge-recombination reactions are at the core of life-sustaining processes, molecular electronics and solar cells. Intramolecular electron donor-acceptor systems capture the
