Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 5 ml of dimethylsulfoxide, was added 0.26 g (1.6 mmol) of 2,3-methylenedioxyphenylacetonitrile, then, 0.24 g (1.6 mmol) of n-pentyl bromide and a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide were added dropwise thereinto simultaneously under cooling with ice. After 30-minute stirring at room temperature, the mixutre was added with water and extracted with ether.
