Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(4-bromophenethyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (2.96 g, 10 mmol), NiBr2 (2.19 g, 10 mmol) and NaCN (0.98 g, 20 mmol) in 2.0 mL of NMP was heated at 200° C. in microwave twice. After cooling down to RT, the mixture was filtered with the help excess of DCM. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and was submitted to flash chomatography (SiO2, DCM to DCM/EtOAc=3:1) to give (N-(4-cyanophenethyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide was a white solid, together with 1.1 g for recovered starting material.
