Reaction Steps
Into a 100 ml. flask, equipped with a magnetic stirrer, thermometer, condensor, and static nitrogen head, was placed 13.6 g. of 2-octanone, 11 g. of propionitrile, 61 g. of calcium oxide and 0.3 g. of 25% tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide in water. The mixture was held at reflux (103° C.) for 16 hours at which time gas chromatographic analysis showed 7% product nitrile relative to starting ketone.
