A mixture of 45.3 g. (0.31 m.) of p-chlorophenylacetonitrile and 107 g. (0.72 m., 99 ml.) of diethyl oxalate in an alcoholic sodium ethylate solution [prepared by dissolving 7.13 g. (0.31 g.-atoms) of sodium in 120 ml. of absolute ethanol] is refluxed with stirring for two hours. The cooled reaction mixture is diluted with 700 ml. of water, acidified with acetic acid and cooled to ice bath temperature. The resulting solid is recrystallized from aqueous methanol to give ethyl 3-cyano-3-(p-chlorophenyl)-pyruvate, m.p. 134°-135° C.
