反応手順

A mixture of 3-(3,5-Dimethyl-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (93) (15.7 g, 0.1M), NBS (18.58 g, 0.11M) and benzoyl peroxide (2.42 g, 10 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (120 ml) was refluxed for 3 hr. under a light of 500 W tungsten lamp. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered and the filterate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ether, washed with aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to give a crude product as a light yellow solid (94). A mixture of the crude product (94) and potassium cyanide (9.75 g, 0.15M) in ethanol (60 ml) and distilled water (30 ml) was refluxed for 2 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between EA-ether (1:1) and water. The organic layer was taken, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, ether: hexanes (from 1:1 to 2:1)) to afford 6.68 g (36%) of a pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.39 (3H, s), 3.74 (2H, s), 5.91 (1H, d, J=16.5 Hz), 7.21 (3H, s), 7.34 (1H, d, J=16.5 Hz).
