Methyl cyanoacetate → Methyl 1-cyanocyclopentane-1-carboxylate

Temperatur

-20 °C

A solution of methyl 2-cyanoacetate (30 mL, 340 mmol) in DMF (26 mL) and DBU (112 mL, 748 mmol) was heated to 50° C. for 15 min and then cooled to −20° C. To this stirred solution was added dibromobutane 18. The internal temperature increased to 70° C. during the addition. The reaction was set aside to cool to rt before quenching with H2O (800 mL). The product was extracted with Et2O (3×300 mL). The ether layer was washed with 1N HCl (400 mL) and H2O (400 mL). The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to a crude oil that was distilled under high vacuum at 80° C. to yield the desired product in 58% yield.
