Procedure

The above aldehyde (1.4 g, 6.3 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.438 g, 6.3 mmol), and sodium formate (0.771 g, 11.3 mmol) in formic acid (20 mL) were heated overnight, at reflux, then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was diluted with water, and the resulting precipitate was filtered. The solid was taken up in ether, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield 5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyl-3-nitro-benzonitrile (1.21 g, 87%) as a yellow solid.
