Reaktionsschritte

54.88 g (0.25 mol) of 4-bromobenzoyl chloride, 20.81 ml (0.31 mol) of acrylonitrile and 37.65 ml (0.25 mol) of N-benzyldimethylamine are added to 0.561 g (2.5 millimols) of palladium acetate in 500 ml of p-xylene. The mixture is stirred for 1.5 hours at 120° C. The crude product is distilled and recrystallised from cyclohexanone. 35 g (67% of theory) of 4-bromocinnamonitrile are obtained in the form of white flakes; melting point 105.7° C. Analysis for C9H4NBr: calculated C 51.96%, H 2.91%, N 6.73%, Br 38.40%; found C 51.93%, H 3.01%, N 6.69%, Br 38.35%.
