Reaktionsschritte

(4-Cyano-2-methyl-phenyl)boronic acid (1.75 g, 10.87 mmol), diiodonickel (102 mg, 0.326 mmol), (1S,2S)-2-aminocyclohexan-1-ol hydrochloride (50 mg, 0.33 mmol) and NaHMDS (2.01 g, 11.0 mmol) were combined in isopropanol (10 mL) under N2 in a pressure vial. A solution of 3-iodooxetane (1.00 g, 5.44 mmol) in isopropanol (1 mL) was added. The vial was immersed in a pre-heated 90° C. oil bath and stirred for 2 h, then cooled, diluted with ethanol (20 mL), filtered over Celite, concentrated, then absorbed onto Celite and purified by silica gel column chromatography (0-60% EtOAc/hexane) to give 3-methyl-4-(oxetan-3-yl)benzonitrile (616 mg, 3.556 mmol, 65.42%) as a white solid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 173.1, found 174.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.09 minutes (3 min run).
