Reaction Steps

2-Cyanophenol (1.0 g, 8.39 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml), and 60% sodium hydride (0.40 g, 10 mmol) was added thereto under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for one hour. Methyl (±)-2-bromopropionate (1.03 ml, 9.23 mmol) was added to the mixture followed by stirring at room temperature for one night. After the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried, the drying agent was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2-[1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethoxy]benzonitrile (1.70 g, 99%).
