Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the general to procedure B, 4-chlorocyanobenzene (71 mg, 0.52 mmol) reacted with morpholine (53 mg, 0.61 mmol) using 1 mol % of catalyst and sodium tert-butoxide (58 mg, 0.60 mmol) at 45° C. for 27 h to give the title compound (77 mg, 82%) as a solid: 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.49 (d, 2H, J=8.0 Hz), 6.85 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 3.84 (t, 4H, J=4.8 Hz), 3.27 (t, 4H, J=4.8 Hz). 13C{1H}-NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ 153.36, 133.36, 119.76, 113.93, 100.69, 66.31, 47.15. GC/MS(EI): m/z 188 (M+).
