Reaction Steps
A solution of 6.8 g. of 2-(chloromethyl)pyrimidine is added dropwise to a solution of 5.2 g. of sodium cyanide in 100 ml. of dimethylsulfoxide. The mixture is heated at 50°C. for 2 hours, then diluted with 150 ml. of 5% aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extracted with ether. The extract is dried and concentrated to give 2-(2-pyrimidyl)acetonitrile.
