An aqueous solution of 120 grams (2.45 moles) of sodium cyanide in 250 ml. of water was added dropwise to the reaction mixture to provide a slurry of reactants. Next, 385.38 grams (2.0 moles) of 2-ethylhexyl chloroformate was added to the mixture while maintaining the temperature below approximately -40° C. The external cooling was then removed from the reaction flask and the mixture was allowed to warm slowly. After 19 minutes the mixture had warmed to -25° C. and the external cooling was replaced. After 9 more minutes the temperature of the reaction mixture was -17° C. at which point 100 ml. of water, 200 ml. of carbon tetrachloride and 100 ml. of ice was added and the layers were allowed to separate. The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with methylene chloride. The organic extracts were combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was distilled under vacuum to provide 347.85 grams of 99.7% pure 2-ethylhexyl cyanoformate (94.9% yield). bp=95° C. (12- 15 mm).
