Procedure: 9.63 g (56.6 mmol) [Bis(methylmercapto)methylene]-malononitrile was suspended in 50 ml water and treated with 3.7 ml (67.9 mmol) methylhydrazine. The mixture was heated at boiling for 1 hour, the reaction solution cooled, the precipitate suction filtered and recrystallised from ethanol. The mixture was heated the reaction solution cooled the precipitate suction filtered recrystallised from ethanol

Procedure: Methyl hydrazine (4.2 g) was added slowly to benzaldehyde (9.4 ml) in 2-methoxyethanol (15 ml) causing the solution to boil. The solution was heated under reflux for 20 minutes and was then added to a solution of bis(methylmercapto)methylenemalononitrile (15.6 g) in 2-methoxyethanol (75 ml). The solution was heated under reflux for 6 hours and was then cooled to 0° C. to precipitate benzaldehyde N-methyl-N-(2,2-dicyano-1-methylmercaptoethenyl) hydrazone (5.6 g), m.p. 159°-160° C. The solution was heated under reflux for 20 minutes The solution was heated under reflux for 6 hours to precipitate benzaldehyde N-methyl-N-(2,2-dicyano-1-methylmercaptoethenyl) hydrazone (5.6 g), m.p. 159°-160° C.
