Procedure
A mixture of methyl 2-cyanobenzoate (1.0 g, 6.2 mmol) and PtO2 (100 mg) in 20 mL EtOH and 1 ml of chloroform was hydrogenated under 50 psi of hydrogen for 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite® in a sintered glass funnel and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give methyl 2-(aminomethyl)benzoate as a HCl salt and this was carried to the next step crude.
