Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4-Formyl-phenoxymethyl)benzonitrile (1 equiv), in DMSO was added potassium carbonate (0.5 equiv), and hydrogen peroxide (4 equiv). The reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC. It was poured on water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to yield a white solid.
