Potassium Iodide → HCID 17788732, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8 g of benzyl-N-(2-bromoethyl)carbamate, 3.7 g of 3-hydroxybenzonitrile, 4.3 g of calcium carbonate, 5.1 g of potassium iodide and 1.1 g of tetrabutylammonium iodide were stirred in dimethylformamide at 60° C. After the treatment with ethyl acetate as the extractant in an ordinary manner, the product was purified by the silica gel column chromatography to obtain 3-[2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)ethoxy]benzonitrile. Acetic acid containing 20% of hydrogen bromide was added to the product under cooling with ice, and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was washed with ethyl acetate to obtain the title compound.
