Methanol (20 ml) at 5° C. was treated portionwise over 5 min. with stirring with potassium t-butoxide (1.68 g, 0.015 mole), then after a further 5 mins the solution was treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.11 g, 0.016 mole). The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred for 1 h, then treated with a solution of 4-bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile (2.0 g, 0.010 mole) in methanol (10 ml) and heated under reflux for 3 h.
