Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine (3.11 g, 17.5 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in EtOH (30 mL) was added acrylonitrile (2.89 mL, 43.8 mmol, 2.50 equiv) dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours and then concentrated to afford 3.71 g (92%) of white solid, which was characterized spectroscopically.
