Procedure

First, 3.00 g of (4-chloro-α-methylbenzylidene)malononitrile was dissolved in 20 ml of ethanol, and while stirring at room temperature, a suspension of 0.15 g of sodium borohydride in 5 ml of ethanol was added dropwise, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 10% hydrochloride acid was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was successively washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, 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 1.70 g of (1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl)malononitrile (the intermediate (6)).
