Procedure

6-chloro-3-ethoxy-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)benzonitrile (30 mg, 0.1 mmol) (racemic mixture) was dissolved in methylene chloride (5 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 μL, 1 mmol). Thionyl chloride (18 μL, 0.24 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature and the reaction was stirred for 2 hrs. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude 6-chloro-4-(1-chloroethyl)-3-ethoxy-2-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)benzonitrile (0.030 g, 100%). LCMS calculated for C15H19Cl2N2O3(M+H)+: m/z=329.1; found: 329.1.
