Following the general procedure of Example I, 364 mmols of methacrylonitrile were reacted with 25 mmols of distilled aniline in 30 mL of acetonitrile and in the presence of 38 mmols of concentrated HCl and 2.5 mmols of cuprous oxide. The process resulted in an 87.9% yield of 2-chloro-2-methyl-3-phenylpropionitrile.
