The resulting mixture was shaken under hydrogen (2.7-3.3 atmospheres) at room temperature for 2 hours. The catalyst was then removed by filtration and the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate to leave a crude tan solid. The solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give 6-(4-aminophenyl)hexanol.
