A mixture of methyl 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoate (compound 1.6, 18 g, 78.58 mmol, 1.00 equiv), Zn(CN)2 (11.1 g, 94.87 mmol, 1.20 equiv), and Pd(PPh3)4 (7.3 g, 6.32 mmol, 0.08 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (250 mL) was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was then quenched by careful addition of 200 mL of FeSO4 (aq., sat.) and diluted with ethyl acetate. The resulting mixture was stirred vigorously then filtered through celite and washed with 1 M FeSO4, water, and ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with 2×500 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 3×200 mL of brine, dried over (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:50) as eluent to yield 11 g (76%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
