Reaction Steps

Liquid HCN (2.4 ml; 0.062 M) was added to a solution of ethyl N-benzylidene-1-aminocyclopropane carboxylate (5.61 g, obtained as described in Example 1) in ethanol (25 ml) at room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature for forty eight hours; subsequently the excess ethanol was evaporated. The desired product was obtained in a yield of 100% (6.3 g).
