Procedure

25 g (210 mmol) of 2-hydroxybenzonitrile, 87 g of potassium carbonate and 34.3 g (314.8 mmol) of ethyl bromide in 500 ml of acetone are refluxed overnight. The solid is filtered off, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is distilled under reduced pressure. This gives 30.0 g (97%) of a colourless liquid.

Workup

  1. filtrationThe solid is filtered off
  2. customthe solvent is removed under reduced pressure
  3. distillationthe residue is distilled under reduced pressure
