Temperature180 °C

Reaction Steps

[1-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-cyclopropyl]-acetonitrile (3.95 g, 16.73 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (3.75 g, 66.92 mmol) were combined in ethylene glycol (24 mL) and stirred at 180° C. overnight. The mixture was acidified with 6 N aqueous HCl and extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to yield the title compound.
