Description

[(Dimethylamino)methylene]malononitrile is an intermediate that can be synthesized by condensation of cyanoacetamide with malononitrile in the presence of a base. The chemical reaction yields a compound with carbon atoms, which are involved in a vilsmeier-haack reaction. The final product is an anhydrous, white solid. This chemical is used as a precursor to produce other chemicals such as the antimalarial drug chloroquine.
