Procedure

17.3 g of para-cyclohexyl-phenylacetamide and 35 ml of thionyl chloride are stirred at 70°C for 3 hours. The excess thionyl chloride is evaporated, the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the solution washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The solvent is evaporated and the residue distilled in a high vacuum. There is obtained paracyclohexylphenylacetonitrile boiling at 131°-132°C under a pressure of 0.35 mm of Hg and melting at 48°-49°C.
