3-propylhexanenitrile

Conditions: temp:80.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: While stirring, 139.2 g (1 mol) of 3-n-propyl-hexanenitrile were added. The mixture was heated to 80° C. and maintained at this temperature for 2 hours. After cooling to room-temperature, the medium was hydrolysed while stirring with 1500 g of distilled water for 1 hour. The crude product so obtained was suction-filtered and taken up, while stirring for 1 hour at room-temperature, with 1500 g of distilled water. The medium was again suction-filtered, washed and dried to constant weight in a drying-oven under vacuum. maintained at this temperature for 2 hours After cooling to room-temperature
