Abstract
Disclosed herein is a synthesis of ortho chlorobenzalmalononitrile by reacting malononitrile with ortho-chloro benzaldehyde in methanol in the presence of a basic catalyst; separating the product crystals from the methanol; washing the crystals with fresh methanol; combining the wash methanol with the methanol filtrate and using the combined methanol in another similar synthesis run and repeating a series of such runs; drying the crystals with a current of turbulent dry air and scrubbing the air with base solution thereby substantially reducing associated problems of effluent treatment and ambient air pollution.
