Reaktionsschritte

Sodium hydride (300 mg of an 80% suspension in mineral oil, 10 mmol) was added to 2-methoxyethanol (0.76 g, 10 mmol) in NMP (5 ml) and the mixture stirred for 15 minutes. 4-Amino-2-chlorobenzonitrile (1.5 g, 10 mmol) was added and the mixture heated at 100° C. for 5 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by chromatography eluting with increasingly polar mixtures of methylene chloride/ethyl acetate to give 4-cyano-3-(2-methoxyethoxy)aniline (760 mg, 40%) as a dark yellow oil.
