Procedure

Combine 2-(2-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-2-allyl-3-phenylpropionitrile (1.19 g) and dichloromethane (25 mL) and water (25 mL). Add tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (0.01 g) and acetic acid (8.0 mL). Add potassium permanganate (2.24 g) portionwise over 2 hours. After 18 hours, add sodium sulfite to dissolve the precipitated manganese dioxide. Separate the layers and adjust the pH of the aqueous layer to about 2 using aqueous 1 M hydrochloric acid solution. Extract the aqueous layer three times with dichloromethane. Dry the combined organic layers over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate in vacuo to obtain a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 1/1 ethyl acetate/hexane to give 4-cyano-4-phenylmethyl-δ-valerolactone.
