To a mixture of MeCN (3.32 mL, 97 mmol) in THF (300 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added n-BuLi (56.4 mL, 141 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −30° C. for 30 min. Then to the mixture was added methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (15 g, 88 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 10 h. The mixture was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl and extraced with DCM/MeOH (10:1). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by silica column chromatography (PE/EA=10:1). All fractions found to contain product by TLC (PE/EA=5:1, Rf=0.6) were combined and concentrated to yield a light yellow solid of 5,5,5-trifluoro-4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile (5 g, 27.9 mmol, 31.7% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 3.75 (s, 2H), 1.41 (s, 6H).
