Reaction Steps

A dimethoxyethane (5 ml) suspension of sodium 4-chlorobenzenesulfinate (218 mg, 1.10 mmol) and 2-bromomethylbenzonitrile (215 mg, 1.10 mmol) was stirred at 70° C. for 17 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to chromatography on a short silica gel column and the fraction obtained from the ether eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column and the fraction obtained from the hexane:ethyl acetate (=3:1) eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a white solid. The resulting white solid was washed with ether, and collected by filtration, whereby the title compound (226 mg, 70%) was obtained as a white powder.
