o-Phenylenediacetonitrile (1) reacts with Schiff bases 2 of glyoxal via elimination of corresponding imines to 1,4-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (3).The adduct 4 is isolated as an intermediate of this reaction.By addition of a further molecule of 2 to 4 the tricycle 5 can be obtained; its structure is characterized by X-ray structure analysis.
