Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 4-trifluoromethoxyphenylacetonitrile (38.9 g) and 1,3-dibromopropane (39.1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) was added under argon to a stirred solution of 50% sodium hydride (19.2 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) and dimethylformamide (25 ml) at 25°-30° C. over 1 hour. The mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 1.5 hours, then at 30°-40° C. for 1 hour, then cooled and water added. The mixture was filtered and washed with ether. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was distilled (b.p. 111°-117° C./10 mbar) to give 1-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (30.98 g).
