Participants

Reaction Steps

1.8 g of the (R,S)-4-[4'-(3"-hydroxy-1"-methylbutoxy)phenyl]benzonitrile obtained in the above Example 1 was dissolved in 36 ml of carbon tetrachloride. 3.0 g of triphenylphosphine was added thereto and the obtained mixture was stirred under reflux for five hours. After distilling off the solvent, the residue was extracted with n-hexane and desolvated. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with the use of a mixture of n-hexane and diethyl ether (9:1) as a developing solvent. Thus, 1.50 g of (S ,S) -4-[4'-(3"-chloro-1"-methylbutoxy)phenyl]benzonitrile was obtained.
