REACTION OF 4-SUBSTITUTED BENZALDEHYDES AND ACETOPHENONES WITH CHLOROACETONITRILE

Under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis or in homogeneous solution of potassium tert-butoxide the title compounds give stereoisomeric mixtures of substituted 2,3-epoxy nitriles III and IV.Alkaline hydrolysis of epoxy nitriles IV afforded the corresponding 2-arylpropanals in low yields.On treatment with methanol and potassium carbonate, epoxy nitriles III and IV were converted into epoxy esters in good yields.

Process for preparing glycidonitriles

Process for preparing glycidonitriles in which a ketone or aldehyde is reacted with chloroacetonitrile under substantially anhydrous conditions using inorganic alkali metal bases in a solvent medium containing at least about 3 percent liquid volume of a dipolar, aprotic liquid such as dimethylformamide, any balance of solvent being a nonpolar organic liquid.
