Reaction Steps

p-Fluorocinnamaldehyde (9.0 g.) was refluxed for 1 hr. in 98% formic acid containing sodium formate (10 g.) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (7 g.). The solution was cooled and poured into water (275 ml.), giving a solid. This was washed well with water, leaving p-fluorocinnamonitrile (6.21 g., 70%), m.p. 64°-65°, λmax. (EtOH) 271 nm ε 22500.
