Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-((R)-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)(hydroxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (5.1 g, 15 mmol) in CH3CN (150 mL), NaH (1.8 g, 45 mmol) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirring for 1 hour. Then the mixture was cooled to −40° C., the bromoacetonitrile (5.4 g, 45 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C. gradually. The addition of NaH and bromoacetonitrile was repeated three times. The mixture was quenched with H2O and exacted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrate to get the crude (R)-tert-butyl 3-((R)-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)(cyanomethoxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (6.5 g, 100%).
