Procedure

A mixture of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl cyanide (1.0 g, 6.3 mmol), benzyl azide (0.92 g, 6.9 mmol) and potassium t-butoxide (0.78 g, 6.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 days. The resulting suspension was diluted with water and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and filtered. Solvent was removed in vacuo to give a brown oil. Trituration with ether and filtration afforded a yellow solid (1.12 g, 61% yield): NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): 7.60-7.30 (m, 5H), 7.30-7.20 (m, 2H), 5.50 (s, 2H), 3.18 (br s, 2H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 2.10 (s, 6H); CI-MS: 293 (M+H).
