Participants

Reaction Steps

Addition of acetonitrile to 3-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-benzaldehyde gave 3-(3-(3-benzyloxy-propoxy)-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-propionitrile as yellow oil. Yield (0.94 g, 54%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.23-7.38 (m, 6H), 6.90-6.96 (m, 2H), 6.81-6.86 (m, 1H), 5.00 (m, 1H), 4.53 (s, 2H), 4.10 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 2H), 3.67 (t, J=6.0, 2H), 2.75 (t, J=6.4, 2H), 2.04-2.13 (m, 2H).
