Reaction Steps

199 g (0.9 mol) of 3 of [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]acetonitrile are dissolved in 3 L of THF at −5° C. A solution of 106 g (0.945 mol) of potassium terbutanoate in 0.6 L of THF is slowly added to the reaction medium. After 2H, 147 g (0.945 mol) of ethyl iodide is added dropwise to the reaction mixture which is stirred overnight at room temperature. 3 L of water and 2 L of ethyl acetate are added to the reaction mixture, after separation, the aqueous phase is extracted twice with 500 mL of ethyl acetate.
