Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 93 g (0.50 mol) of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetonitrile and 64 g (0.55 mol) of sodium chloroacetate is reacted for 4 hours at -33° C. in 500 ml of liquid ammonia, in the presence of 21 g (0.54 mol) of sodium amide. After evaporation of the ammonia, the residue is taken up with water and then with isopropyl ether and is acidified to pH<3 with hydrochloric acid. The organic phase is washed with water to pH>3, separated off by decantation, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue is solidified in toluene and characterized by proton NMR. M.p.=106° C.
