Abstract

In addition to the previously reported benzyloxyacetonitrile, methyl benzyloxyacetimidate has been shown to be a major product in the reaction of benzyl chloride, formaldehyde, and sodium cyanide in methanol. Pyrolytic elimination of methanol from the acetimidate occurs readily to yield the acetonitrile.
