It was obtd when phenyl cyanide p-nitro-benzhydrazide benzene sulfonate were heated at 200° for 3 hrs, cooled the crystalline melt extracted with cold NaOH soln the extract acidified with coned HO (Ref 2) and by other methods (Refs 3, 4, 6 8)... 

Benzonitrile or Phenyl Cyanide (called Benzoe-saurenitril, Benzonitril of Phenylcyanid in Ger), CgHj.CN mw 103-12, N 13.58% transparent col oil with almond-like odor, mp -12.9°, bp 191°, d 1.01 at 15° highly toxic but somewhat less so than cyanogen or hydrocyanic acid(Ref 2). 

A tetrahydrofuran soln of A1(NS) is prepd by reaction of A1C1, and NaN, in benz, and extraction with tetrahydrofuran. When the tetrahydrofuran soln of Al(N])i was boiled under reflux with phenyl cyanide for 25 hrs, the product after decompn with HCI gave 76-5% yield of 5 phenyltetrazoIe (qv). Reaction of "nascent AI(Ns)j with phenyl cyanide gave an almost quant yield. Similar reaction of the "nascent azide with thioacetamide gave 55% yield of 5-methyItetrazole and a 65% yield of penta-methylenetetrazole (Cardiazole) from thio-caprolactam (Ref 3)- According to Mellor (Ref 2) when a soln of ammonia-alum is treated with an alkaline azide, Al(OH)j is pptd and not AI(N,), (Ref 1)... 

Olefins react with benzenetellurinyl trifluoroacetate in acetonitrile in the presense of boron trifluoride etherate to give 2-acetaminoalkyl phenyl tellurium oxides that are converted, upon treatment with triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran at 30° for 4 h, to 4,5-dihydro-l,3-oxazoles4. These highly regio- and stereoselective reactions allow the one-pot, high-yield conversion of olefins to 1,3-oxazoles. Ethyl cyanide and phenyl cyanide can be used instead of acetonitrile.

Brombenzyl cyanide was first prepared by Riener in 1881 by hrom-inating phenyl cyanide, and its manufacture in industry was commenced n 1914. Industrially, brombenzyl cyanide is prepared in three steals, as follows (1) chlorination of toluene to form benzyl chloride (2) the conversion of benzyl chloride to benzyl cyanide by the action of sodium cyanide in alcoholic solution (3) the bromination of the benzyl cyanide with bromine vapor in the presence of sunlight.
