Procedure

A solution of 5-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-isoxazole (4.91 g) in ethanol (35 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (prepared from 0.6 g sodium in 25 ml ethanol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, poured into water (150 ml) and acidified to pH 1. It was extracted with ether (2×75 ml) and the combined extracts were washed with water, dried (anhydrous sodium sulphate) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was triturated with petroleum spirit (bp 60°-80° C.) and filtered to give 3-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-oxopropionitrile (4.9 g) as an off-white solid mp 79.5°-80.5° C.
