To a solution of 2-phenylpropionitrile (5 g, 38 mmol) in 50 mL of DMSO was added 42 mL of 1 M THF solution of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaHMDS). After 15 minutes, the reaction was cooled to 0° C. and 4.6 mL of ethyl iodide was added. The reaction was then stirred for 30 minutes. As TLC showed the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organics were combined, washed four times with water, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give 6.1 g of 2-methyl-2-phenylbutyronitrile as an oil.
