In 100 ml of methanol were dissolved 7.6 g of α-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-α-(2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile and 0.8 g (50%) of Raney's nickel. The solution was subjected to reduction with three times as much mol. of hydrogen gas. Insolubles were removed from the reaction mixture, then the remaining solution was concentrated to give the titled compound in a yield of 95%, m.p. 191-194° C.
