Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 125 ml three-necked round bottom flask are placed 33 g (0.15 mole) of α-chloro-α-p-chlorophenylthioacetonitrile and 33 g (0.48 mole) of imidazole. The mixture is heated to 60° when an exothermic reaction sets in (110°). It is then cooled to room temperature, poured into water and extracted with ether. The combined ether extracts are evaporated to give 20 g of a brown solid which when triturated with ether gives 7 g of pure product, mp 120°-2°.
