The resulting acetal derivative of formula 5 is then alkylated with about 1 eq of an alkylhalide using a strong metallic base and a catalytic amount of an iodide source, e.g., 2-iodopropane or NaI, in a polar aprotic solvent at about 10°-40° C. for 2-18 hours, followed by treatment with sufficient ice water to decompose excess base, to yield a dialkylated derivative of formula 6. For example, 2-(3,3-diethoxypropyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (5) in DMF is treated with a slight molar excess of 2-chloropropane (and 0.1-5 mol% 2-iodopropane) at 20° C., stirred for 10 minutes, then treated with 1 eq NaH in mineral oil and slowly heated to 40° C. After adding 200 mL ice water and purifying the product, 2-(3,3-diethoxypropyl)-2-(prop-2-yl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (6) is obtained.
