Reaction Steps

11 g of potassium cyanide were added to 110 ml of methanol and then 23.5 g of 7-(bromomethyl)-2-phenyl benzofuran (Helvetica Chimica Acta, Vol. 57, 5, 1974, p. 1381) in 250 ml of methanol were added. The mixture was refluxed for 5 hours, then separated, filtered and concentrated. The crystals were crystallized from flugene-1,1,3 at reflux to obtain 5.78 g of the desired product melting at 65° C.
