The significant synthetic potential and reactivity of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) have captured the interest of numerous chemical communities. One of the most promising, readily achievable, yet least explored pathways for the reactivity of TCNE involves its interaction with arylamines. Typically, the reaction proceeds via tricyanovinylation (TCV); however, deviations from the standard chemical process have been observed in some instances. These include the formation of heterocyclic structures through tricyanovinyl intermediates, aliphatic dicarbonitriles through the cleavage of the C–C bond of a tetracyanoethyl substituent, complexation, and various pericyclic reactions. Therefore, the objective of this study is to review the diverse modes of interaction of TCNE with aromatic nitrogen-containing compounds and to focus the attention of the chemical community on the synthetic capabilities of this reagent, as well as the various biological and optical activities of the structures synthesized based on TCNE.
