Procedure
To a solution of diphenylacetonitrile (1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added 60% sodium hydride (0.25 g) portionwise under ice-cooling and stirring. After completion of portionwise addition, the mixture was further stirred for 15 minutes. Then, ethyl bromoacetate (0.69 ml) was added dropwise and the mixture was further stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and the organic layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to provide the title compound (1.2 g) as colorless powder.
