Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of the commercially available 4-bromoacetyl-benzonitrile (5 g, 22.32 mmol) in 150 mL of methanol was added sodium azide (1.74 g, 26.78 mmol) and the contents stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After removal of the solvent, the residue was treated with water (50 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give a yellow solid (3.90 g, 94%). This compound was used for the next step without any further purification.
