Abstract
Tetraethylammonium cyanide gives a 1 : 1 adduct with carbon dioxide which can be used for the simultaneous addition of cyanide ion and a carboxy-group to the double bond of an activated olefin. The limitations of this synthesis, due to the reversibility of some of the steps involved in certain cases, are discussed.
