Zinc iodide (0.21 g) was added to a mixture of 4-isobutylbenzaldehyde (6.5 g) and trimethylsilylcyanide (5.0 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and partitioned between ethyl acetate and 7% hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was washed with 7% hydrochloric acid and water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give 2-hydroxy-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetonitrile as a yellow oil (8.15 g).
