General Description

cis,cis-Mucononitrile (Z,Z-2,4-hexadienedinitrile) can be prepared by the copper-catalyzed oxidation of o-phenylenediamine. ¹³C MAS NMR spectra of cis,cis-mucononitrile oriented in liquid-crystalline media has been studied. Pt-catalyzed addition of diethylphosphine to cis,cis-mucononitrile yields the new diphosphine, Et₂PCH(CN)CH(CH₂CH₂CN)PEt₂.
