Procedure

A 50% mineral oil dispersion containing 16.8 g (0.7 mol) of sodium hydride was placed in a 3-liter, three-necked, round-bottom flask and washed free of oil with 500 ml of dry hexane. To this was added 1.2 liters of dry dimethylformamide (DMF) and 165.4 g (0.7 mol) of diethyl phenylmalonate (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WI). After hydrogen ceased to be evolved (3.5 hours), 104.2 g (0.7 mol) of 4-bromobutyronitrile (Aldrich Chemical Co.) was added, and the reaction heated at 65° C. overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue suspended in 1 liter of ethyl acetate. It was filtered, the filtrate reevaporated, and the residue evaporatively distilled at 170° C./0.1 mm to give 168 g (79% yield) of the diester (15) as a yellow liquid.
