Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran (15 g, 0.066 mole) was heated under reflux with cuprous cyanide (7.2 g. 0.08 mole) in dimethyl formamide (15 ml) as in Example 2. Work up yielded, after recrystallisation from petroleum ether (bp 60°-80° C.) with charcoaling, 5.7 g of product, mp 72°-75° C.
