The effects of allylnitrile (ALN), which induces a long-term dyskinesia in mice, on the metabolism of serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) were studied after a single administration. One day after injection, ALN produced a significant increase in the levels of

Condensation of beta-amino-alpha,gamma-dicyanocrotononitrile (1) with acetophenone gave 2-amino-4-phenylpenta-1,3-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile (2). The latter product was used in a series of heterocyclization reactions with different reagents such as diazonium salts, hydrazines, hydroxylamines and elemental sulfur to give pyridazine, pyrazole, isoxazole and thiophene derivatives
