Reaction Steps

NaH (55-65%, 1.44 g, 36 mmoles) and, after 30 minutes under stirring, 1-bromo-propane (4.46 g, 36 mmoles) were added to a solution of 3-methoxy-phenyl-acetonitrile (4.4 g, 30 mmoles) in anhydrous DMF (30 ml) under N2 at room temperature. After 1.5 hours the mixture was poured into water (200 ml), extracted 3 times with ethyl ether, anhydrified and brought to dryness to give a residue which was chromatographed (eluent: petrolatum, then petrolatum/ethyl ether 95:5) to give 4.2 g of the title compound (yield: 74%).
