| production method | the mixture of 695g 1-(chloromethyl) naphthalene, 1500ml methanol, 475ml water and 350g sodium cyanide was boiled and refluxed, and stirred for 2 hours. Evaporate 1300ml of methanol, cool, and wash the reactants with water to neutral to obtain 670-680g of 1-naphthalene acetonitrile. |
