Procedure

To a solution of 4-hydroxybenzonitrile (0.5 g; 4.18 mmol) in 25% NH4OH (22 ml) a solution of I2 (1.06 g; 4.18 mmol) and KI (3.41 g; 20.54 mmol) in H2O (5 ml) was added at once with stirring. The stirring was continued for 6 h, during which time the mixture turn from black into colourless. The precipitate formed was filtered off and filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with H2O (3 ml). The precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with cold H2O (3×2 ml), and dried in vacuo to give the title compound (0.82 g; 80%), as colourless solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 7.96 (d, 1H, 1.9 Hz); 7.53 (dd, 1H, J=1.9 Hz, 8.5 Hz); 7.03 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz); 6.03 (s, 1H);
