The kinetics of the aniline–tetracyanoethylene reaction in methylene chloride are reported. The results imply that the reaction proceeds via a 1 : 1 π-complex formed between the reagents and that the overall reaction involves two additional molecules of aniline. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed within a scheme encompassing both C- and N-tricyanovinylation of aromatic amines.
