Procedure
40.6 g (0.15 mol) of 2-cyano-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-pyridyl)ethen-1-ol hydrochloride were refluxed with vigorous stirring for 19 h in 130 ml of 48% strength hydrobromic acid. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath, and the precipitate deposited (4-fluorophenylacetic acid) was filtered off and washed with dist. water. On neutralizing the filtrate with 80 ml of ammonia water, the title compound deposited as a dark-green precipitate. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with dist. water and dried over P2O5 in vacuo: pale gray-beige powder. Yield: 14.2 g (45%).
