The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with short reaction period. The products of the reaction are readily available through a simple purification procedure. 2-Aminofuran derivatives obtained by this reaction could be converted into 6-aminofulvene derivatives upon reaction with various amines. The structures of 2-aminofuran and 6-aminopentafulvene with a N,N-dimethylanilino substituent were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis., Article, CHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL. 23(21):5126-5136 (2017)}, pages = {5126--5136}, title = {Synthesis of 2-Aminofurans by Sequential [2+2] Cycloaddition-Nucleophilic Addition of 2-Propyn-1-ols with Tetracyanoethylene and Amine-Induced Transformation into 6-Aminopentafulvenes}, volume = {23}, year = {2017} }
