Reaction Steps

A 250-mL round bottomed flask was charged with 2-(4-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile (2.5 g, 15.4 mmol, 1 eq.), NH2OH/HCl (2.12 g, 31 mmol, 2 eq), NaHCO3 (2.82 g, 2.3 mol, 7 eq.), MeOH (100 ml) and water (16 ml). The mixture was stirred under reflux overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the volatile material was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with water (100 ml). Solid was collected by filtration and washed with water (3×20 ml) followed by dichloromethane (3×10 ml). After drying, the title compound was obtained as yellowish solid (2.46 g, 84% yield).
