Reaction Steps

Using analogous reaction conditions as described in Example 16, step 1, 2-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionitrile (I-20a: 1.2 g, 5.6338 mmol) in methanolic ammonia (10 mL) was reacted with to Raney nickel (200 mg) to afford 1.3 g of the crude product which was used in the next step without further purification.
