Application

3-Aminocrotononitrile was used as bisnucleophilic reagent which on cyclocondensation with hexafluoroacetone(ethoxycarbonylimine) forms bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidinones.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Aminocrotononitrile reacts with ferrocenyl-1,2-enones to form ferrocenyl pyridines. It undergoes diazotization coupling reaction with p-substituted anilines to give 2-arylhydrazone-3-ketimino-butyronitriles.
