2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanenitrile

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

Procedure: By a method analogous to that of Example 3(a), o-methoxybenzyl cyanide was methylated with methyl iodide and sodium hydride in dimethylformamide to give the desired compound in 85% yield.

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