Reaction Steps

800 mg 4-Fluoro-2-vinyl-benzonitrile were dissolved in 5 ml methanol. 80 mg palladium (10% on charcoal) were added and the reaction was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for one hour. The catalyst was filtered off trough a pad of celite. The filtrate was evaporated to obtain 625 mg 2-Ethyl-4-fluoro-benzonitrile.
