It was previously suggested that the intermediate isolated from the NN-dimethylaniline–tetracyanoethylene reaction was zwitterionic. Synthetic and spectroscopic studies on this intermediate reported here indicate that a neutral substituted ethane structure is the correct one. The compounds formed by hydrolysis of the intermediate by acid and by base are described.
