Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.7 g of 4-(2-hydroxyacetyl)benzonitrile in allyl bromide (15 mL) is added 10.2 g calcium sulfate and 6.7 g of silver oxide. The mixture is stirred under argon and in the dark for 2 hours. The mixture is diluted with AcOEt, filtered on celite, concentrated and purified on silica gel (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane: 0/100 to 50/50) to give the desired compound.
