Abstract: A method for producing compounds of the formula: Wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of amino, lower alkylamino, di-lower alkylamino, allylamino, diallylamino, N-lower alkyl-N-allylamino, benzylamino, dibenzylamino, phenethylamino, diphenethylamino, 4-hydroxyphenethylamino or di-(4-hydroxyphenethylamino); comprising: a) reacting with Wittig Reagent to produce wherein R1 is alkoxyl; f) hydrolyzing compound II under acidic conditions to produce g) subjecting compound III to reduction and amination to produce the tertiary amine wherein R2 is as defined above; h) reacting compound IV with 4-chlorophenoxyacetonitrile to create nucleophilic substitution to produce the nitrile compound wherein R2 is as defined above; and i) effecting reduction and hydrolysis in the same step with palladium/C and sodium hydroxide to produce wherein R2 is as defined above.
