Sulfuric Acid → HCID 21590270, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-propionitrile obtained above was stirred with 100 mL of sulfuric acid at room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was poured into 500 mL of ice-water and stirred for 30 minutes. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure to give 5.73 g of 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-propionamide as a brown solid which was used in next step without further purification.
