Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (1 g, 5.1 mmol) in 2-methoxyethanol (10 mL) and n-ethyldiisopropylamine (0.89 mL, 5.1 mmol) was heated under microwave irradiations for 2 hours at 150° C. After this time, reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), washed with water and brine to give the title compound as a colorless oil (800 mg, 81%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 7.76-7.74 (m, 2H), 7.68-7.65 (m, 1H), 7.59-7.54 (m, 1H), 4.54 (s, 2H), 3.59-3.56 (m, 2H), 3.51-3.47 (m, 2H), 3.25 (s, 3H). HPLC (Method A) Rt 3.09 min (Purity: 82.9%).
