The addition of ethyl cyanoacetate, catalysed by t-butyl peroxide at 155-160°, to a series of conjugated olefins XCH:CHY, namely dimethyl fumarate (X = Y = CO2Me), methyl crotonate (X = Me, Y = CO 2Me), β-methyl-styrene, methyl cinnamate, benzylideneacetone, and cis- and trans-cinnamonitrile (X = Ph, Y = Me, CO2Me, Ac, or CN, respectively), gives mainly the 1:1-adduct, XCHR·CH2Y (R = CH(CN)·CO2Et), in the first two cases, and XCH 2·CHRY in the others, in yields of 26, 53, 42, 31, 16, 26, and 20%, respectively. Isomerisation of cis-cinnamonitrile to the trans-isomer under the conditions of the reaction is interpreted as due to the reversibility of the addition step. This, however, does not occur in the addition of butanal to the same nitrile, which gives PhCH2·CH(CN)·COPr n (40%).
