Reaction Steps
Reaction of benzyl cyanide, sodium ethylate and diethyl oxalate according to the method described in Org. Synth. Coll. Vol. II (1943) 287 and Chem. Ber. 107 (1974) 2794-2795 in alcohol, acidification with conc. (37%) hydrochloric acid to pH 2 and subsequent recrystallization of the separated precipitate from ethanol yielded ethyl phenylcyanopyruvate in 90% yield as yellow crystals, melting point 127°-128°.
