Procedure

To a solution of 4.19 g (5.0 mmole) of 1-iodo-4-(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4-phenylbutane in dimethylsulfoxide (30 ml) was added 0.74 g (5×3 mmole) of sodium cyanide, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. The reaction solution was cooled with ice, and isopropyl ether and water were added to it, followed by stirring. The isopropyl ether layer was separated out, washed with aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (magnesium sulfate) and evaporated. The residual solution was chromatographed on a silica gel column to perform purification (elution with isopropyl ether/hexane) to thereby give 1.65 g (98%) of 5-(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-5-phenylvaleronitrile. Its typical physical properties and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data are shown in Table 14.
