Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile (2.1 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO (10 ml) and the solution cooled to 0° C. using an ice bath. Potassium carbonate (0.2 g, 1.5 mmol) was then added, followed by commercial 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (2 mL). The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature with stirring over 1 h. Water (20 mL) was added and the 1-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid amide collected as a white solid. Yield: 2.1 g (90%).
