Abstract

Addition of nitryl chloride to acrylonitrile at 0'in the absence of a solvent gave 2, 3- dichloropropionitrile (13.5%) and 2-chloro-3-nitropropionitrile (Equations 5)(76%); in ethyl ether at Oo,%-nitroacrylonitrile (48%) and ammonium chloride were produced along with 2, 3-dichloropropionitrile (16%) and 2-chloro-3-nitropropionitrile (25%).
