Procedure
A 10% solution of methyl 2-cyano-2-phenylacetate in benzene is saturated with ammonia under ice cooling. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 hours, and then the product is filtered off. 2-Cyano-2-phenylacetic acid amide is obtained with a yield of 75%; m.p.: 148.5°-150° C.
