Procedure: A 50% oil dispersion of NaH (24 grams) was placed in a 2 l. 3-necked flask and covered with 250 ml. THF. After heating to reflux, a solution composed of 55 ml. THF, ethyl-4-chlorobenzoate (57 grams), and acetonitrile (20.5 grams) was added in dropwise fashion. The reaction mixture started to solidify after the reactants were added so an additional 200 ml. of THF was added. The mixture was then heated to reflux for 21/2 hours, cooled to room temperature, treated with 1 l. ether, and allowed to stand for 72 hours. 3-necked flask and covered with 250 ml After heating to reflux were added so an additional 200 ml The mixture was then heated to reflux for 21/2 hours treated with 1 l

Procedure: The crude 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-propionitrile obtained above was stirred with 100 mL of sulfuric acid at room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was poured into 500 mL of ice-water and stirred for 30 minutes. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure to give 5.73 g of 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-propionamide as a brown solid which was used in next step without further purification. The precipitate was collected by filtration washed with water dried under reduced pressure
