Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (E)-3-(4-pyrrolidin-2-yl-phenyl)-acrylic acid methyl ester (1.0 g, 4.3 mmol), acrylonitrile (1.1 g, 22 mmol) and silica gel (4 g, grade 62 60-200 mesh 150 Å) was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The reaction mixture was purified via silica gel column chromatography to give (E)-3-{4-[1-(2-cyano-ethyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-phenyl}-acrylic acid methyl ester (1.2 g, 98%) as a colorless oil. LCMS (m/z): 285.1 (M+1).
