Procedure: A stirred solution of ethyl 2-cyano-2-(formylamino)acetate J. Org. Chem., 1979, 44, 3835; 0.47 g, 0.003 mol), acrylonitrile (1.2 ml, 0.018 mol) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.02 ml, 0.0003 mol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (4 ml) was heated under reflux for 3 days. The solvent was removed by evaporation under vacuum, the residue dissolved in dichloromethane (30 ml) and the resulting solution washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (30 ml). The aqueous phase was washed with dichloromethane (30 ml) and the organic solutions then combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under vacuum. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel (12 g), eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (100:1), followed by crystallisation from acetone: hexane, gave the title compound as a colourless solid (0.12 g, 21%), m.p. 114°-116° C. Found: C,56.89; H,4.75; N,22.08. C9H9N3O2 requires C,56.54; H,4.75; N,21.98%. under reflux for 3 days The solvent was removed by evaporation under vacuum the residue dissolved in dichloromethane (30 ml) the resulting solution washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (30 ml) The aqueous phase was washed with dichloromethane (30 ml) dried (MgSO4) evaporated under vacuum Chromatography of the residue on silica gel (12 g), eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (100:1) followed by crystallisation from acetone

Procedure: Under a nitrogen atmosphere (N2), HCOOH (2.44 g, 53 mmol) was added to Ac2O (6.48 g, 63.6 mmol) at 0° C. After it was allowed to warm to ambient temperature the reaction was heated at 50° C. for 15 hr. It was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. This mixed acid anhydride was then added dropwise to a solution of ethyl 2-amino-2-cyanoacetate (128 mg, 1 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) at 0° C. After the cooling bath was removed, the reaction was maintained at ambient temperature for additional 1 hr.
