Reaction Steps

5-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile (D91, 185 mg, 1.04 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH:EtOAc (24 mL, 1:1) and was reduced using an H-Cube (full H2 mode, 25° C., 1 mL/min). The reaction was concentrated by rotary evaporation to give 4-amino-5-hydroxy-2-methylbenzonitrile (D92, 152 mg, 95%) as a pale yellow solid.
