Procedure

A mixture of 6-bromomethyl-2-phenylbenzoxazole (40 gm) and sodium cyanide (7.4 gm) in dry dimethylformamide (800 ml) was heated on a steam bath for 3 hr. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The solid was recrystallised to give 2-phenyl-6-benzoxazolylacetonitrile as white crystals, m.p. 144° C.
