Reaction Steps

10 ml of β-chloropropionitrile (0.13 mol) are added, whilst stirring at 70°-80° C, to a solution of 17.4 g (0.12 mol) of p-chlorothiophenol and 4.8 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in 50 ml of water. The mixture is kept at 80° C for half an hour. After cooling, it is extracted with ether and the extract is washed with water and dried. 22.5 g of 3-(p-chlorophenylthio)-propionitrile. Melting point = 53-54° C.
