Procedure

A mixture of (2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-acetonitrile (1.0 eq), 50 wt % aqueous KOH (5.0 eq) 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (1.5 eq), and Oct4NBr (0.02 eq) is heated at 70° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture is cooled then worked up with MTBE and water. The organic phase is washed with water and brine then the solvent is removed to afford (2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ 7.43 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (d, J=1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (dd, J=8.4, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 1.75 (m, 2H), 1.53 (m, 2H).
