The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture then was cooled in ice bath and acidified with hydrochloric acid (10%) to pH 2. The white solid separated was filtered, washed with water, later hexanes and dried under high vacuum to give the N-(4-methylbenzoyl)cyanamide (3.4 g); m.p. 140–142° C. (lit m.p. 149–150° C.); purity 88% HPLC; 1H-NMR (CD3OD) δ 2.42 (s, 3H, CH3), 7.38 (d, 2H, ArH), 7.78 (d, 2H, ArH).
