    • 3, 3-Dimethoxypropanenitrile was synthesized from 2-chloro-3-phenylsulfonylpropanenitrile by elimination and addition reactions. 3-phenylsulfonylpropanenitrile was obtained by eliminating HCl from 2-chloro-3-phenylsulfonylpropanenitrile at 0-20℃ with a yield of 88%. 3-Phenylsulfonylpropanenitrile was reacted with sodium methoxide in methanol, giving 3, 3-dimethoxypropanenitrile with a yield of 98%. Elimination reaction was innovated by using THF as a solvent instead of ethyl ether and addition… CONTINUE READING
