Ferris, James P. published the artcileAminomalononitrile and 4-amino-5-cyanoimidazole in hydrogen cyanide polymerization and adenine synthesis, Product Details of C10H11N3O3S, the publication is Journal of the American Chemical Society (1965), 87(21), 4976-7, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Aminomalononitrile (I) was prepared by the treatment of oximinomalononitrile with Al-Hg; p-toluenesulfonate derivative m. 180-1°. Treatment of I with acid anhydride gave the corresponding oxazoles (II). I is converted to III by reaction with formamidine acetate (IV). Further treatment of III with IV gave adenine. KCN and I react at pH 9-10 to give a brown polymer and diaminomaleonitrile (V). V is the most prominent low-mol.-weight product formed during the polymerization of HCN. The results indicate that I is a key intermediate in HCN polymerizations and possibly prebiol. organic synthesis.
