Procedure
16.67 g (100.93 mmol) of (4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-acetonitrile is introduced into 158 ml of dimethylformamide with 30.1 g (211.96 mmol) of methyl iodide. At 0° C., 8.50 g (211.96 mmol) of a 55-60% sodium hydride suspension is added in portions. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture is poured onto ice water and then extracted three times with methyl tert-butyl ether. The combined organic extracts are washed with water and with brine. After the solvent is dried and spun off, the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (mobile solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane). 5.11 g (26.2%) of the desired compound and 6.18 g of the monomethyl compound, which is realkylated, are isolated.
