Reaction Steps

Trimethylsilyl cyanide (0.93 ml, 7 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture of 4-hydroxyaniline (0.545 g, 5 mmol) and cyclobutanone (0.42 g, 6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 h and then concentrated under vacuum to obtain a brown liquid which was subjected to chromatography (dichloromethane:acetone, 98:2) to yield 11a (0.903 g, 4.8 mmol, 96%) as a yellowish solid.
