Procedure

A solution of 98 g of propiolic acid (1.4 moles), 99.5 g of hydracrylonitrile (1.4 moles), 2 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 200 ml of chloroform were refluxed, using a Soxhlet extractor filled with 3 A molecular sieves to remove the water generated during the esterification. A total reflux time of 94 hours was employed. The reaction was cooled, poured into water and extracted with chloroform. The combined extracts were washed with dilute bicarbonate solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to give 49.2 g (29 percent) of a liquid used without purification.
