Reaction Steps

3,3,3-Trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propionitrile (Stage 44.3) (12.40 mmol) was added to a solution of sodium methoxide (freshly prepared from 48.40 mmol sodium metal and 102 mL MeOH) at rt. After 4 h, acetic acid (48.40 mmol) and then NH4Cl (14.88 mmol) were slowly added and the reaction mixture was then heated to 70° C. for 40 h. After concentrating (40° C., 100 mbar) the reaction mixture, the residue was suspended in acetone, filtered and dried under vacuum to afford the title compound as a white solid. ESI-MS: [M+H]+ 155.
