Reaction Steps

A 0.25 M solution of trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane (5 mL, 1.25 mmol) was added to 4-[4-(t-Butoxycarbonylamino)phenyl]butanenitrile (98) (0.22 g, 0.85 mmol). After 30 min, reaction was quenched with 1 N NaOH solution. The mixture was partitioned with ethyl acetate (30 mL) and water (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated to give 4-(4-Aminophenyl)butanenitrile (97) (0.16 g, 99%) which was used without further purification.
