Bis(2-bromoethyl) ether → Tert-butyl 4-cyanooxane-4-carboxylate

To a stirred suspension of NaH (17.7 g, 0.443 mol) in DMF (200 mL) was added dropwise tert-butyl cyanoacetate (25.0 g, 0.177 mol) in DMF (100 mL) at 0° C. under N2. The mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature, and stirred for 1 hour. Then, bis(2-bromoethyl)ether (49.3 g, 0.177 mol) was added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 24 h. After cooling to 0° C., the mixture was quenched with water (100 mL). The volatile components were removed by evaporation and the residue was precipitated with a mixture of EtOAc-Toluene (1:2, 500 mL) and water (500 mL). The organic phase was washed with water (500 mL) for three times, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The solid was washed with Hexane and dried in vacuo to give 19.0 g (57%) of the title compound as a white crystal.
