Reaction Steps

78.1 grams (0.5 mole) of thiophene-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester and 30 grams (1 mole) of sodium hydride (80% suspension in white oil) were reacted with 41.5 grams (1 mole) of acetonitrile in 500 ml of dry toluene. There were obtained 70.0 grams (92.6% of theory) of 2-thiophenoylacetonitrile having a melting point of 110° C.
