Reaction Steps

Trimethylsilyl cyanide (0.27 ml, 2 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture of 2-aminonaphthalene (0.143 g, 1 mmol) and cyclobutanone (0.098 g, 1.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h and then concentrated under vacuum to obtain a brown liquid which was subjected to chromatography (dichloromethane) to yield 13a (0.209 g, 0.94 mmol, 94%) as a yellow solid.
