Procedure

4-Nitrophenol (10 g), bromoacetonitrile (6 mL) and K2CO3 (15 g) were suspended in acetone (100 mL). The yellow solution was stirred at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and acetone was removed under reduced pressure. The light-yellow precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give O-cyanomethyl-4-nitrophenol.
