Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile (10 g, 61 mmol) in MeOH (200 mL) was treated with hydrogen gas through a balloon in the presence of 5% Pd on active carbon (0.5 g) at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the product (8.2 g, 100%).
