2-(2-formylphenoxy)acetonitrile

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Potassium carbonate (65.2 g) was added to a DMF solution (500 ml) of (2-formylphenyl)oxyacetonitrile (38 g), which was stirred at 60° C. for 2.5 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to obtain the entitled compound (14.5 g). was extracted with diethyl ether The organic layer was washed with water a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried concentrated The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1)
