Procedure
19.156 g (75.686 mmol) of diethyl 2-bromo-2-methylmalonate were initially charged in THF (120 ml), and 5 g (75.686 mmol) of malononitrile and then 8.493 g (75.686 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide were added. The mixture was then heated to reflux overnight. Ethyl acetate and sat. ammonium chloride solution were then added to the reaction, and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted two more times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. This gave a crude product which was purified by chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 9:1).
