Procedure

To a solution of 2-cyclopropylpyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde (2 g, 13.5 mmol) and TMSCN (2.68 g, 27 mmol) in AcOH (30 mL) was added 4,4-difluoropiperidine hydrochloride (3.1 g, 13.5 mmol), followed by AcONa (2.66 g, 32.4 mg). The mixture was stirred at 30° C. for overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and saturated NaHCO3 (aq) was added to the mixture to pH=8. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuum to give the 2-(2-cyclopropylpyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(4,4-difluoropiperidin-1-yl)acetonitrile as a light red solid (3.5 g, 93%), which was used directly for next step without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 MHz): δ 8.69 (s, 2H), 4.88 (s, 1H), 2.73-2.70 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 4H), 2.34-2.27 (m, 1H), 2.11-2.00 (m, 4H), 1.19-1.13 (m, 4H).
