Reaction Steps

Dry hydrogen chloride was passed into a mixture of 4-chlorophenylacetonitrile (50.5 g.) and dry ethanol (16.1 g., 20.1 ml.) until a weight increase of 14.6 g. was obtained. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 3 days; the resulting crystalline mass was broken up, digested thoroughly with dry ether, filtered, and dried in vacuo to give ethyl 4-chlorophenylacetimidate hydrochloride.
