Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsilyl cyanide (0.66 ml, 5 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture of 4-aminobenzoic acid (0.492 g, 4 mmol) and cyclobutanone (0.35 g, 5 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml). 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) to yield 36a (0.677 g, 3.36 mmol, 84%) as a brown solid.
