Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add a solution of 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-cyclopropane-carbonyl chloride (5 g, 31.1 mmol) in anhydrous DCM to a mixture of 4-aminobenzonitrile (3.34 g, 28.3 mmol) and triethylamine (4.3 mL, 31 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (20 mL) at 0° C. After stirring at 0° C. for 20 min, warm the mixture to room temperature and stir overnight. Partition the reaction mixture between DCM (500 mL) and water (250 mL) and extract the aqueous phase with DCM (250 mL). Wash combined organic extracts with water (3×250 mL), dry over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 over 36 min; 1:0 to 3:1 gradient over 36 min; 3:1 to 1:1 gradient over 71 min; 50 mL/min) to obtain the desired intermediate as a solid (2.31 g, 34%). MS (ES+) m/z: 243.2 (M+H)+.
