Reaction Steps

First, 0.2 g of (2-(4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)benzyl)-2-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)malononitrile (the present compound (43)) was dissolved in 5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, to which 0.1 g of potassium t-butoxide was added, while stirring under ice cooling. After stirring for 5 hours at room temperature, water was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was successively washed with water, a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 0.05 g of 2-(4-(2-bromovinyl)benzyl)-2-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)malononitrile (the present compound (58)).
