Participants

Reaction Steps

0.50 g of the (R,S) -4-[4'-(3"-hydroxy-1"-methylbutoxy)phenyl]benzonitrile obtained in the above Example 1 was mixed with 0.12 g of acetic anhydride, 0.51 g of triphenylphosphine and 5 ml of ethyl ether. To the obtained mixture, was added dropwise 0.34 g of diethyl azodicarboxylate under stirring. The obtained mixture was stirred at room temperature for three hours. The triphenylphosphine oxide thus precipitated was filtered and desolvated to thereby give a crude product which was purified by silica gel column chromatography with the use of a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane (1:3) as a developing solvent. Thus 0.18 g of the title compound as obtained. The obtained product showed the following characteristic absorptions in infrared spectroscopy, which proved that it was the aimed compound.
