To a solution of 4-amino-3-methyl benzonitrile (1.20 g, 9.08 mmol) in 75 mL of toluene is added benzophenone (1.74 g, 9.53 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.43 g, 2.1 mmol). The reaction vessel is fitted with a Dean-Stark trap and the solution is heated at reflux. After 24 h, the solution is cooled to ambient temperatures. The solution is concentrated. The crude material is purified by column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 3% EtOAc/hexanes to 10% EtOAc/hexanes. The title compound (2.43 g, 8.2 mmol) is obtained as an oil.
