Product 1

HCID 167827394-[(3-Amino-2-hydroxypropyl)oxy]benzonitrileYield 46%

Procedure

IPA (300 mL) was added to a stirred suspension of 4-(2-oxiranylmethoxy)benzonitrile (100 g; 571 mmol; see Example A above) in NH3 (500 mL; conc.), and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt. for 3 days. The precipitate was filtered off and the residue concentrated and recrystallized from MeCN to give the sub-title compound in a 46% yield.

Workup

  1. filtrationThe precipitate was filtered off
  2. concentrationthe residue concentrated
  3. customrecrystallized from MeCN
