36. 2SiCl was used as electrophile, it was necessary to keep the temperature between -90 and -80°C for 30 min before the hydrolysis in order to obtain the best results.
37. (a) For benzonitrile the temperature was allowed to rise to -60°C for 3 h. (b) In the case of benzonitrile acidification with acetic acid is necessary prior the extraction in order to avoid undesirable by-products.
