Preparation Method:
It can be synthesized by the following steps:
1. p-Toluene (C6H5CH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) are reacted in the presence of a base to produce p-tolyl methyl ether (C6H5CH2OCH3).
2. Oxidation of p-tolyl methyl ether with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) to generate p-tolyl formaldehyde (C6H5CH2CHO).
3. The p-tolyl formaldehyde and sodium cyanide (NaCN) react in the presence of alkali to generate a metal salt.

Safety Information:
-must have low toxicity under normal use conditions.
-During operation, care should be taken to prevent inhalation, swallowing or contact with skin and eyes.
-Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and lab coats when used.
-During storage and handling, keep away from fire and high temperature, and avoid contact with oxidants.
-Dispose of waste after use and disposal and comply with local chemical handling regulations.
