Procedure: Compound 72-2 (4.22 g) was dissolved in methylene chloride (30 ml), triphenylphosphine (7.58 g) and N-bromosuccinimide (5.14 g) were added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Diethyl ether (100 ml) was added, and the precipitated triphenylphosphine oxide was filtered off. The concentrate of the filtrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the object product (5.37 g) as a colorless oil. cooling cooling for 2 hr The reaction mixture was washed with water and saturated brine dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure Diethyl ether (100 ml) was added the precipitated triphenylphosphine oxide was filtered off The concentrate of the filtrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography

Procedure: 4-(3-Bromopropyl)benzonitrile (20 g, 0.089 mol) in acetonitrile was added to a vigorously stirred mixture of ethanolamine (27.2 g, 0.447 mol) and potassium carbonate (18.5 g, 0.133 mol) in 300 mL of dry acetonitrile. Stirring was then continued at room temperature overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product thereby obtained was purified by column chromatography (using methanol in chloroform) to yield 15 g of the sub-title compound. The reaction mixture was filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The crude product thereby obtained was purified by column chromatography (using methanol in chloroform)

Procedure: To a solution 4-(3-bromopropyl)benzonitrile (8 g, 0.0357 mol; see step (iv) above) in dry acetonitrile (150 mL) were added anhydrous K2CO3 (7.4 g, 0.0535 mol) and ethanolamine (10.9 g, 0.179 mol). The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred overnight at room temperature, after which it was filtered and concentrated. The crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography over silica gel, using methanol in chloroform as eluent, to yield 4.2 g (57.5%) of the sub-title compound as a pale yellow solid.
