Procedure

To a stirred solution of crude 4-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpent-2-ynoyl)benzonitrile (1.2 g, 5.60 mmol) in ethanol (12 mL), a solution of diethyl amine (0.58 mL, 5.60 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) was added dropwise at RT. The reaction mixture was then stirred for additional 1 h. The ethanol was removed and the mixture then diluted with EtOAc (50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 4-(5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)benzonitrile (1.2 g) as a light green semi solid which was taken on to the next step without further purification.
