Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile (100 mg, 0.61 mmol), palladium on charcoal (10 mg, 10%), EtOH (0.67 mL) and ethyl acetate (0.33 mL) was hydrogenated at rt for 2 h. Then the mixture was filtered and concentrated to give 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzonitrile 60 mg (73%) as a solid.
