Reaction Steps

1.7 g of 13A and 1.2 g of sodium cyanide were stirred together in 1 ml of water and 20 ml of dimethylformamide at 60° C. for 16 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using isopropanol in dichloromethane as eluent to give 1-benzyl-3-cyanoazetidine (13B).
