Procedure

2-Amino-5-chloro-benzonitrile (9.0 g, 59 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was added dropwise to an ice cooled 1 molar solution of lithium aluminium hydride (100 ml) in tetrahydrofuran and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Water (10 ml) was added dropwise. The resulting emulsion was dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a white solid (4.56 g).
