Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The 2-fluoro-4-methyl-benzonitrile (0.8 g, 3.99 mmol) was added in small portion to a mixture of NaH 60% (4 mol eq, 0.61 g) in isopropanol (30 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. overnight. The solvent was distilled and water was added to the residue. The aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×25 mL) and the organic phases were evaporated at reduced pressure to give 30a as a deliquescent white solid (1.09 g, 6.22 mmol). 1HNMR (DMSO, 200 MHz) δ 1.21 (s, 3H), 1.28 (s, 3H), 2.10 (s, 3H), 4.89 (m, 1H), 7.41 (d, 1H), 7.55 (s, 1H), 7.89 (m, 1H).
