Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3[[3-(1-hydroxyhexyl)phenoxy]methyl]benzonitrile (5.0 g.), 30% hydrogen peroxide (6.6 ml), ethanol (9 ml) and 6N sodium hydroxide (0.7 ml) was stirred at room temperature for one hour. The reaction was then heated to 50° C. for three hours. The solution was neutralized with 5% aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform. The organic extract was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to a solid. The solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate giving 3.4 g (63%) yield) of solid, m.p. 97°-98° C.
