3-Nitrophenyl acetonitrile (6.486 g, 0.04 mol) was refluxed with borane-THF complex (40 mL, 0.04 mole) in anhydrous THF (80 mL) for 45 min under argon. The reaction mixture was quenched with methanol and concentrated. 3-Nitrophenylethyl amine was crystallized from the reaction mixture by adding oxalic acid (10 g, 0.08 mol). Yield 4.36 g, 85%.
