PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1-ARYL-1-CYANOCYCLOBUTANE DERIVATIVES

摘要

A process for the preparation of arylcyclobutylnitrile derivatives which involves reaction of a solution of a 1,3-dihalopropane and a cyanobenzyl derivative in a substantially dimethyl sulphoxide-free solvent with a suspension of a base in a substantially dimethyl sulphoxide-free solvent at a temperature of at least 35 DEG C.
