Reaction Steps

2-(2-Methyl-3-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile (Askam, V. et al. J. Chem. Soc. C (1969)1935–1936;) was hydrogenated over 5% palladium-charcoal 50 mg in EtOAc/EtOH 1:1 (14 ml) for three hours. The mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound 77 mg (77%) as a white powder.
