Reaction Steps

11.4 parts of 2-[p-(2-thenoyl)phenyl] acetonitrile, 4.9 parts of methyl bromide and 0.13 parts of benzyl triethyl ammonium chloride are added to 30 parts of a 50% sodium hydroxide solution. The whole is stirred vigorously for 5 hours at 35° C. Distilled water is added. The organic layer is separated, washed with distilled water and evaporated. The oily residue is distilled, yielding p-(2-thenoyl)hydratroponitrile.
