After 1.5 h, 7-bromoheptanenitrile (78 mg, 0.41 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2.5 h. Water (20 mL) was added and the aqueous solution was washed with EtOAc (4×15 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with water (2×15 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by medium pressure chromatography (1:1 hexanes:EtOAc) provided 7-{2-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-butyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl}-heptanenitrile (161 mg). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.09 (m, 2H), 6.95 (m, 2H), 3.81 (m, 1H), 3.54 (m, 2H), 2.86 (m, 1H), 2.68 (m, 2H), 2.29 (m, 4H), 2.06 (m, 1H), 1.74-1.23 (m, 13H), 0.85 (s, 9H), 0.04 (m, 3H), 0.19 (m, 3H); MS 475.1 (M+1).
