Summary.
The reaction between push-pull olefins of the acyloxymethylidene-malononitrile type and α, β-unsaturated hydrazones affords selectively 5-alkyl-2-cyano-6-(N′,N′-dimethylhydrazono)-hexa-2,4-dienenitriles. No [4+2]-cycloaddition products were detected. The structure elucidation of the obtained compounds and possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.
