Procedure
Using an analogous procedure to that described in Example 3, 3-methoxy-3-[3-(naphth-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]pyrrolidine was reacted with 2-chloroacetonitrile to give 1-(cyanomethyl)-3-methoxy-3-[3-(naphth-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]pyrrolidine in 45% yield, m.p. 76°-77° C. (recrystallised from methanol).
