Reaction Steps

Isophthalonitrile (12.8 g, 0.1 mol) and methanol (115.2 g) were mixed, and the resultant mixture was heated to 64° C. with stirring. To the mixture, a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (10 g) was added over six hours. Liquid chromatographic analysis revealed the reaction mixture contained 13.1 g of m-cyanobenzamide (yield 90%).
