Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a three-necked flask equipped with an argon inlet and a condenser were placed sodium hydride (60%, 689.5 mg, 17.23 mmol), dimethyl carbonate (1.55 g, 17.23 mmol) and 15 mL of toluene. The mixture was stirred under reflux and a solution of 3-acetylbenzonitrile (1.0 g, 6.19 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was added drop wise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was monitored by LCMS and purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluted with 0-10% of ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the product (1.2 g, 86%).
