To a solution of cyanoacetic acid (4.07 g, 47.8 mmol) in THF (240 mL) cooled to −78° C. under an atmosphere of argon was added 1.6 M n-butyllithium in hexane (59.8 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min at −78° C. and was then allowed to warm to 0° C. The reaction mixture was recooled to −78° C. To the mixture was added dropwise 3,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (5.01 g, 23.9 mmol) in THF (30 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1N HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic solutions were combined, washed with sat NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to give 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanenitrile (3.9 g, 76%). LCMS: (FA) ES− 212.0. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.01 (d, 1H), 7.75 (dd, 1H), 7.63 (d, 1H) and 4.05 (s, 2H).
