Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaH (1.302 g, 32.6 mmol, 60 wt % in mineral oil) in dry DMF (10 mL) cooled to 0° C., was added dropwise a solution 2-(4-fluorophenyl)acetonitrile (2.0 g, 14.8 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) To the stirred suspension at 0° C. was then added 1,3-dibromo-2,2-dimethoxypropane (3.88 g, 14.80 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated to 60° C. and stirred for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The crude compound was purified by silica gel chromatography (24 g REDISEP® column, eluting with 20% EtOAc in hexanes). Fractions containing the product were combined and evaporated to afford Intermediate 308A as a yellow liquid (1.4 g, 40%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ ppm 7.45 (dd, J=8.94, 5.05 Hz, 2H), 7.09 (t, J=8.66 Hz, 2H), 3.28 (s, 3H), 3.05-3.19 (m, 5H), 2.64-2.72 (m, 2H).
