A solution of LAH (1 M in ether, 40 mL) was added to a stirred solution of 5-chloro-2-methylbenzonitrile (3.03 g, 20.0 mmol) in Et2O (10 mL) at 0° C. and the resulting solution was warmed to ambient temperature. After 30 min the solution was cooled to 0° C. and water (1.52 mL), 15% NaOH (1.52 mL) and water (4.56 mL) were added successively. The solids were removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 5-chloro-2-methylbenzylamine (3.11 g) as an oil.
