2-(3-aminophenyl)propionitrile (1.0 g, 6.75 mmol), was suspended in water (12 mL), then under vigorous stirring, H2SO4 (1.5 ml, 27 mmol) was added dropwise. After stirring 20 min, the mixture was cooled to 4° C., a solution of NaNO2 (0.466 g, 6.75 mmol) in water (5 mL) was added dropwise and the resulting solution was left stirring at reflux 1 h. After cooling at room temperature, ethyl acetate (10 mL) was added to the mixture, the crude was extracted and the organic phase washed with water (3×10 mL) and brine (3×10 mL). After drying over Na2SO4 and solvent evaporation under reduced pressure 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile was obtained as yellow oil in nearly quantitative yield.
