Ammonia gas was condensed into the flask from a cylinder until approximately required volume was present (˜300 mL). Commercial sodium amide (800 mmol, 31.2 g) was added to the ammonia at −78° C. and after stirring for 10 minutes 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)propanenitrile (200 mmol, 40 g) was added over a 5 minute period. The mixture was allowed to warm such that the resultant mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 h before being neutralised with solid ammonium nitrate (800 mmol, 64.0 g) and allowed to stand overnight under a flow of nitrogen. The ammonia was evaporated and water was added to the solid residue and the products were extracted with dichloromethane (×3). The combined organics were washed with dilute hydrochloric acid (5%), followed by water. The organics were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford crude 3-chloro-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene-1-carbonitrile as a brown residue (98% yield, 32 g).
