Diisopropylamine → 80799-19-5

9.15 ml of a cyclohexane solution of 1.75M of butyllithium were added with stirring under an inert atmosphere at -30° to -40° C. to a mixture of 2.49 ml of diisopropylamine and 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran and after 10 minutes of contact, the mixture was cooled to -60° to -70° C. A mixture of 4.068 g of 4-tolyl sulfonyl-4,3,3-trimethyl-pentanenitrile in 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran were added to the mixture over 5 minutes and the mixture was stirred at -60° to -70° C. for 10 minutes after which the temperature was allowed to rise to 20° to 25° C. The mixture was stirred for one hour and was then poured into an iced aqueous saturated monosodium phosphate solution. The mixture was extracted with n-pentane and the organic phase was dried and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 1.064 g of pure 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-cyclopropane-carbonitrile with a boiling point of 58°-60° C. at 12-14 mm Hg and a melting point of 17° C.
