Reaction Steps

A solution of 1 g of 4-(2-bromoacetyl)benzonitrile in acetonitrile (5 mL) and water (10 mL) is treated under microwave irradiation (125° C., 50 min). The same experiment is conducted five times. All the vials are collected, extracted with ethyl ether, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give the desired compound.
