“…2‐(Dibutylamino)pentanenitrile (34): Following General Procedure A , tributylamine 33 (0.24 mL, 1.0 mmol) was reacted with Me 3 SiCN (270 μL, 2.00 mmol) for 27 h. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (SiO 2 , pentane/Et 2 O=40:1) to give 34 as a colorless viscous liquid; yield: 145 mg (69%); known compound; the 1 H NMR spectroscopic data agree with those given in ref 56 . 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 , 300 MHz): δ =0.89–0.97 (m, 9 H), 1.21–1.54 (m, 10 H), 1.66–1.75 (m, 2 H), 2.30–2.38 (m, 2 H), 2.52–2.62 (m, 2 H), 3.58 (t, J =7.7 Hz, 1 H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 , 75.5 MHz): δ =13.6, 14.1, 19.4, 20.5, 30.4, 34.1, 51.6, 54.5, 118.7; IR (neat/ATR probe): ν =2958, 2932, 2873, 2823, 1467, 1379, 1309, 1261, 1170, 1116, 1091, 877, 801, 741 cm −1 ; HR‐MS (EI): m/z =210.2106, calcd.…”
