Reaction of malononitrile with dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride gave (dimethylamino‐methylene)malononitrile ( 1 ), 4‐chloro‐7‐methyl‐5,7‐diaza‐1,3,5‐octatriene‐1,1,3‐tricarbonitrile ( 3a ) and the pyridine 2 . Compounds 3a and 3b as well as the triaza‐derivative 3c may also be obtained by treatment of tetracyanopropenides 4a‐c with dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride. Ring closures were achieved by heating 3 under alkaline or acidic conditions. Substitution of chlorine in 3a with aromatic amines provided 1‐aryl‐1,2‐dihydro‐2‐imino‐3,5‐pyridinedicarbonitriles 7 . Hydrolysis of 7 gave the 2‐oxo‐derivatives 8 .
