Versuchsvorschrift

To a refluxing solution of 2-tert-butyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile (816 mg, 4.0 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) was added ammonium formate (816 mg, 12.6 mmol), followed by 10% Pd—C (570 mg). The reaction mixture was refluxed for additional 90 min, cooled to room temperature and filtered through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated to give 2-tert-butyl-5-aminobenzonitrile (E-2) (630 mg, 91%), which was used without further purification. HPLC ret. time 2.66 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 175.2 m/z (MH+).
