A number of effective approaches to the synthesis of 2-hetaryl-2-(1-aryl(hetaryl)pyrrolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitriles have been developed. The methods are based on various ways of constructing the pyrrolidinylidene ring. These include the recycling of 2-hetaryl-2-(tetrahydro-2-furanilidene)acetonitriles upon interaction with aromatic amines, as well as the condensation of alicyclic and cyclic imidoyl chlorides with hetarylacetonitriles. The ap- proaches studied allow for variation in both the structure of the hetarylacetonitrile fragment and the structure of the N-substituents of the pyrrolidin ring, including electron-rich and heteroaromatic ones. The structure of the obtained compounds has been established and confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Pyrrolidine-containing com- pounds have a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity, therefore the obtained products can be considered promising compounds for biological screening.
