Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of α-(N-isobutylamino)-3-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile (28.0 g; 0.1 mole), dimethyl sulfate (12.6 g; 0.1 mole), anhydrous potassium carbonate (15.0 g) and anhydrous acetone (100 ml) was stirred at a temperature of 50° C. for a period of 16 hours. The mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with anhydrous diethyl ether, the etherial solution was separated and the ether was evaporated to give α-(N-isobutyl-N-methylamino)-3-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile as a yellow oil. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (d6 -acetone; δ in ppm): 0.85 (6H, d of d); 1.83 (1H, m); 2.23 (3H, s); 5.19 (1H, s); 7.0-7.5 (9H, m).
