Procedure

269 g of methyl 3-bromo-2,4,5-trifluoro-benzoate and 108 g of copper cyanide are heated to reflux for 5 hours in 400 ml of dimethylformamide. All volatile constituents of the reaction mixture are then removed by distillation in vacuo. The distillate is then fractionated on a column. 133 g of methyl 3-cyano-2,4,5-trifluoro-benzoate of boiling point 88-89° C./0.01 mbar are obtained.
