Reaktionsschritte

To sodium hydride (600 mg, 15 mmol) in anhydrous THF (5 mL) at 0° C., was added dropwise 2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)acetonitrile (1006 mg, 5 mmol) and then the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 mins, followed by dibromobutane (1075 mg, 5 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 16 h, then cooled to 0° C., quenched with MeOH (1 mL), diluted with EtOAC (50 mL) and washed with brine (3×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)cyclopentanecarbonitrile as a yellow oil (905 mg, 71%) (1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 7.50 (dd, J=2.1, 6.7 Hz, 2H), 7.25 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 2.53-2.49 (m, 2H), 2.10-1.97 (m, 6H)
