Procedure

A mixture of 3-benzyl-1-cyano-3-azabicyclo-[3.1.0]hexane (2.77 g, 14.0 mmol) and barium hydroxide (4.47 g, 14.2 mmol) in water (100 ml) was heated to reflux for 18 hours. The reaction was then cooled and brought to neutral pH with sulfuric acid. The thick white mixture was filtered and washed twice with ethanol and twice with water. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue mixed with hot ethanol and filtered again. The filtrate was concentrated to provide the title product (2.91 g, 13.4 mmol, 96% yield). 1H NMR (D2O): 7.50 (bs, 5H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 3.9 (bs, 1H), 3.6 (m, 1H), 3.5 (bm, 2H), 2.14 (bs, 1H), 1.53 (bs, 1H), 1.09 (bs, 1H).
