Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of sodium azide (2.96 g, 45.6 mmol) and ammonium chloride (2.44 g, 45.6 mmol) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen, 3-(biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-benzonitrile (10.0 g, 35.0 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 125° C. for 18 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was poured on to a mixture of 1N hydrochloric acid (60 mL) and ice water (500 mL). The precipitate was filtered off and washed with water (3×100 mL), 50% ethanol (3×100 mL), ethanol (50 mL), diethyl ether (50 mL), ethanol (80 mL), and dried in vacuo at 50° C. for 18 hours affording 8.02 g (70%) of the title compound.
