Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.7 g of 4-[2-(2-quinolylmethyloxy)phenoxy]butyronitrile, 5.3 g of sodium azide and 4.4 g of ammonium chloride was heated with 25 ml of dry dimethylformamide at 140° C. for twenty hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice, basified with 1N sodium hydroxide and extracted 2 times with ethyl acetate. The aqueous fraction was acidified with acetic acid. The product was filtered and washed with water. The crude product was crystallized from acetonitrile to give 1.7 g of pure product of m.p. 137°-140° C.
