Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.80 g of 4-[3-(3-chlorobenzyloxy)pyrrolidine-1-yl]2,2-diphenylbutyronitrile was added 1.41 g of potassium hydroxide and 15 ml of tert-butanol, and the mixture was refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, then extracted with methylene chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol=10:1) to obtain 1.57 g of the aimed compound as a yellow oil.
