The mixture was slowly heated to a maximum of 105° C. while collecting distillates at 77-80° C. Additional isopropanol (220 g; 3.67 mol) was added to maintain the flask at 105-110° C. and the collection of distillates was continued at 77-80° C. After distilling off the unreacted isopropanol, the isopropyl cyanoacetate (bp 100° C./20 mm Hg) was collected as a clear liquid. The yield was 120 g (94.5% of theoretical and its purity was >99% (GC assay).
