Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g (0.062 mol) of 2-(2-cyanoethyl-idene)-3-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, 10 ml of 2B alcohol and 0.1 g of palladium supported on charcoal (5%) catalyst was hydrogenated under 50 psi of hydrogen until 1 equivalent of hydrogen was absorbed. The mixture was then filter, concentrated under reduced vacuum. The residual oil was distilled under vacuum to give 9.6 g (89% yield) of 2-(2-(2-cyanoethyl)-3-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane: b.p. 55-57° C/0.5 mm; ir 2940, 2870, 2250, 1700, 1460, 1430, 1380; nmr 0.95, 1.1 (3H.5), 1.2-2.5 (14H, m); ms 163.
