反应详情

A mixture of 2-(2-indenyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (3.4 mmol), potassium bicarbonate (3.4 mmol) in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran/dimethylformamide (1/1) is stirred for a few minutes and then α-cyano-m-phenoxybenzyl mesylate (3.4 mmol) in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran/dimethylformamide (1/1) is added. The reaction is worked up by diluting with ether, washing with water and sat. NaCl, drying and evaporating under vacuum to remove solvent to yield α-cyano-m-phenoxybenzyl 2-(2-indenyl)-3-methylbutanoate.
