Procedure

4-(Di-tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)benzonitrile (2 g, 6.0 mmoles) (prepared as described in Preparative Example 247, Step A above) was dissolved in TFA (4 mL) and the solution was stirred at 25° C. for 0.25h. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and extracted with 1N sodium hydroxide. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (15×5 cm) using 3% (10% conc. ammonium hydroxide in methanol)-dichloromethane as the eluant to give 4-(aminomethyl)benzonitrile (108 mg, 68%): FABMS: m/z 133.1 (MH+); HRFABMS: m/z133.0764 (MH+). Calcd. for C8H9N2: m/z 133.0766; δH (CDCl3) 2.04 (2H, s, —CH2NH2), 3.89 (2H, s, —CH2NH2), 7.40 (2H, d, Ar—H) and 7.59 ppm (2H, d, Ar—H); δC (CDCl3) CH2: 45.7; CH: 127.8, 127.8, 132.4, 132.4; C: 110.6, 118.9, 148.0.
