Reaction Steps

Into a 250 ml 4-neck flask equipped with stirrer, reflux cooler and dropping funnel, 20 g (0.5 moles) of solid sodium hydroxide, 80 ml of toluene and 5 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide are first introduced and heated to 80° C. To this 2-phase system, a mixture of 50 g (0.41 moles) of 2-propyl-2-pentenenitrile and 31.4 g (0.41 moles) of allyl chloride were added in doses within 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was maintained for 2 more hours at a temperature of 75° C. Further work proceeded as in Example 1. A yield of 24 g of desired product, corresponding to 29.4% of the theoretical, was obtained.
