Reaction Steps

A mixture of 17.5 parts of 4-(2-cyanoethyl) benzoic acid and 120 parts of thionyl chloride are refluxed for 15 minutes. The surplus thionyl chloride is then eliminated under reduced pressure and the 4-(2-cyanoethyl) benzoyl chloride is obtained which is liquid at atmospheric temperature.
