Procedure

A solution of benzonitrile (20 g, 0.194 mol) in methanol (8 ml) was bubbled with gaseous HCl to saturation. The solution was allowed to stand overnight, and then a pale yellow solid was found. The solid was triturated with ether, filtered, washed with ether, and dried to yield beige solid product (32 g, 96%).
