Reaction Steps

14.3 g (83 mmols) of 4-carboxycinnamonitrile, 11.9 g (100 mmols) of thionyl chloride, 100 ml of toluene and 0.18 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide are boiled under reflux for 15 minutes and then evaporated. Recrystallising the residue twice from carbon tetrachloride gives 7.7 g (48% of theory) of 4-chloroformylcinnamonitrile in the form of yellow crystals; melting point 161.0° C.
