Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-3-fluorobenzylcyanide (1.0 g, 5.92 mmol), 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.938 g, 5.92 mmol), 2 N NaOH (4 mL) and isopropyl alcohol were stirred at rt. The mixture was stirred for 10 min. to afford a solid ppt that was collected by filtration with multiple water washes. The solid was dried ON under reduced pressure to afford a white solid (Z)-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-(4-chloro-3-fluoro-phenyl)-acrylonitrile, 1.62 g, 89.3%;
