Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(3-nitrophenyl)cyclopropanecarbonitrile (1.6 g, 8.50 mmol) in 2-Propanol (50 ml) was added triethylbenzylammonium chloride (0.058 g, 0.255 mmol) and 25% aq KOH solution (5 ml). Resulting solution was stirred for 5 min. and H2O2 (10 ml, 98 mmol, ca. 30% solution in water) was added. Reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 4 h. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo and residue was suspended in water (200 ml). Precipitate was filtered and dried to obtain 1-(3-nitrophenyl)cyclopropane carboxamide (1.104 g, 5.36 mmol, 63% yield).
