참여 물질

반응 단계

2-Nitro-α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (3.82 g.) was heated at 100°C for 3 hours with potassium cyanide (7.8 g.) in dimethyl sulphoxide (40 ml.). After pouring into water, the mixture was brought to pH 7 and filtered. Acidification, ether extraction, and removal of the ether gave a solid which was sublimed or crystallised from aqueous ethanol to give 3-trifluoromethyl-salicylonitrile, m.p. 134°C.
