Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask is charged with 25 parts of 98% sulfuric acid and 25 parts of 20% fuming sulfuric acid and cooled to 0°; then, 20 parts of 90% fuming nitric acid is added. Twenty parts of 5-cyano-2,4-diisobutylbenzeneacetonitrile is added in portions, and the mixture is warmed to 50° with stirring. After two hours, the solution is poured onto ice and the precipitate of 5-cyano-2,4-diisobutyl-3-nitrobenzeneacetonitrile is collected and dried.
