Abstract Ethyl α-cyano-β-(p-fluorophenyl)-β-(2-furyl) propionate was obtained by the condensation of ethyl α-cyano-β-(2-furyl) acrylate with p-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide. Its deethoxycarbonylation led to β-(p-fluorophenyl)-β-(2-furyl) propionitrile. Reduction of the nitrile with lithium aluminum hydride gave γ-(p-fluorophenyl)-γ-(2-furyl) propylamine. Some transformations of the latter were studied.
