Participants

Reaction Steps

5.6 g of ethyl cyanoacetate and 7.8 g of 4-chlorophenethylamine are refluxed for 9 h in 50 ml of ethanol to give a solution. After concentration and cooling, this solution gives a residue which crystallizes. This is taken up with ether, filtered off and washed with ether to give 7.8 g of N-2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethylcyanoacetamide in the form of a white solid melting at 122° C. Yield 70%.
