19.94 g (63.64 mmol, 85% purity) of rac-2-[(diphenylmethylene)amino]-4-fluorobutanonitrile from Example 66A were initially charged in 421 ml of abs. THF, and 25.71 ml (64.28 mmol) of n-butyllithium (2.5 N in hexane) were added at −78° C. under argon, and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for a further 10 min. Subsequently, 36.1 g (254.57 mmol) of iodomethane were added to the reaction solution at −78° C. The reaction mixture was gradually brought to 0° C. over 4.5 h. After complete depletion of the starting material, the reaction solution was quenched with water at 0° C., ethyl acetate was added and the mixture was washed twice with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was purified by means of silica gel chromatography (eluent:cyclohexane/ethyl acetate=15/1). 17.2 g of the target compound were obtained (78% of theory, 81% purity).
