Acrylonitrile → 3-Cyclohexene-1-carbonitrile, 3,4-dimethyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of acrylonitrile (1 eq.) and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene (1.1 eq.) in toluene (2M) was pumped through a heated coil reactor at 240° C. with a residence time of 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and yielded the product as colorless oil (87% yield).
