Abstract
Abstract The hitherto unknown α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetonitrile has been synthesized by reduction of the cyanohydrin of α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone. Sodium borohydride reduction of the corresponding cyanohydrin tosylate resulted in reductive decyanation in dimethyl sulphoxide and in reduction of the nitrile group in t-butanol.
