Reaction Steps

2-(2-Iodophenyl)acetonitrile (3.0 g, 12 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (3.6 g, 37 mmol) were stirred in 20 mL of DMF, and MeI (0.77 mL, 12 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was then stirred for 3 hours. The solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude residue was purified by silica flash chromatography 0-15% EtOAc/hexanes.
