Procedure

To a solution of 3-(4-carbamoyl-2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenyl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (30.0 g, 103 mmol) and NEt3 (31.3 g, 309 mmol) in DCM (300 mL), trifluoroacetic anhydride (23.8 g, 113 mmol) is added slowly. The exothermic reaction is kept below 5° C. with cooling. After complete addition, the mixture is stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture is washed twice with water (2×300 mL) and the org. extract is evaporated to dryness to give 3-(4-cyano-2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenyl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (28.4 g) as a pale yellow oil; 1H NMR δ 1.25 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 2.32-2.37 (m, 2H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 2.70 (q, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.95-3.02 (m, 2H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 7.34 (s, 1H).
