To a solution of benzyl bromide 4 (0.0758 g, 0.238 mmole) in 5 mL dimethylformamide was added pulverized potassium cyanide (0.0232 g, 0.3563 mmole) and 18-crown-6 ether (0.100 g, 0.378 mmole). After stirring at 80° C. for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled and poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, brine, and dried with magnesium sulfate. The organic phases were concentrated and the residue was loaded on to silica gel and chromatographed with silica gel (hexanes:ethyl acetate, 9:1) to afford 0.046 g (82%) of benzylnitrile 5 as a yellow solid: Mp=128–130° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.85 (d, 2 H, 8.7 Hz), 7.19 (s, 1 H), 7.06 (d, 2 H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.00 (d, 1 H, J=2.5 Hz), 6.88 (d, 1 H, J=2.1 Hz), 3.82 (s, 3 Hz), 3.79 (s, 3 H); MS, 285 (M+H)+
