Procedure
Terephthalonitrile (12.8 g, 0.1 mol) and isopropanol (243.2 g) were mixed, and the resultant mixture was heated to 80° C. with stirring. To the mixture, a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (4 g) was added over three hours. Liquid chromatographic analysis revealed the reaction mixture contained 10.8 g of p-cyanobenzamide (yield 74%).
