Procedure

Sodium cyanide (1.47 g, 30 mmol) was added to a mixture of N-methyl 4-amino-2-fluorobenzamide (1.68 g, 10 mmol) and cyclobutanone (1.4 g, 20 mmol) in 90% acetic acid (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was washed with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The solid was washed with a 50:50 mixture of ethyl ether and hexane (10 ml) to remove cyclobutanone cyanohydrin to afford after filtration B2 (2.19 g, 8.87 mmol, 89%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 1.87-1.95 (m, 1H), 2.16-2.27 (m, 1H), 2.35-2.41 (m, 2H), 2.76-2.83 (m, 2H), 2.97 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 3H), 4.68 (bs, 1H), 6.29 (dd, J=14.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.48 (dd, J=8.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (q, J=4.4 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (dd, J=8.3, 8.3 Hz, 1H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 MHz) δ 15.7, 26.7, 33.9, 49.4, 100.2 (d, J=29.5 Hz), 110.6, 111.0 (d, J=11.8 Hz), 133.1 (d, J=4.2 Hz), 148.4 (d, J=12.0 Hz), 162.0 (d, J=244.1 Hz), 164.4 (d, J=3.6 Hz).
