A “ketene iminate”and not a carbanionis present in the title compound 1 ·C 6 H 6 . The bond lengths in the CCN group deviate considerably from those in ketene imines such as 2 . In comparison, enolates have practically the same bond lengths as enol ethers. This difference is due to the different stabilization of a negative charge by nitriles and carbonyl compounds.
