By reducing 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-cyclohexane-propionitrile with sodium borohydride and subsequently dehydrating the resulting 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxycyclohexane-1-propionitrile with phosphorus oxychloride in pyridine in analogy to the preparation of 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexene-1-acetonitrile described in Example 1, there is obtained 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyclohexene-1-propionitrile in the form of a pale yellowish oil.
