A new compound, 2-amino-4-(4-bromophenyl)-6-(phenylamino)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile, was synthesized by the catalyst-free reaction of 2-(4-bromobenzylidene)malononitrile with malononitrile and benzylamine. The structure of the reaction product was determined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. A probable reaction mechanism and intramolecular rearrangement were proposed.
