Reaction Steps

3-(1-Cyano-ethyl)-benzoic acid ethyl ester were dissolved in 4 ml dry DMF. Under nitrogen atmosphere, 138 mg of 60% sodium hydride and 423 mg methyl iodide were added at RT. The mixture was stirred for 16 hrs, then quenched by addition of 1 ml methanol and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica in ethyl acetate/heptane mixtures.
